I compiled zImage for Android 2.1 emulator, and tried to load it in Android 1.5 emulator. So it didn't work. When i loaded it in 2.1, it works fine.
If anyone has any problems regarding compiling kernel images for android emulator(any version), feel free to post your question in this thread. I am not yet successful with compiling kernel images for real android phones. I tried to Samsung Galaxy but the compiled image didn't work in the phone and the phone bricked. I am trying with it. If anyone has any idea, please share.

Thank you.!
