Emulator will not start (?) with 2.2
<p>I am not sure where to start with debugging this problem so I thought I would make a post. I could not find the same problem anywhere else</p>

<ul>
<li><p>I am using eclipse, windows 7, and installed the android sdk and eclipse plugin both.</p></li>
<li><p>I can create hello-world applications, compile and run them nicely for target 2.1-update1 (7)</p></li>
<li><p>I cannot get the emulator to start for target 2.2 (8). I have tried creating profiles through eclipse, and running them stand alone. What happens is the window comes up and it says "A N D R O I D _" and stays there forever. I left it for hours.</p></li>
<li><p>I tried starting the emulator from the command prompt, identical result.</p></li>
<li>I tried the <code>-wipe-data</code> command, no change</li>
<li>I cannot get logcat to work: I start "<code>emulator -avd phone2.2 -logcat '*'</code>", then try "<code>adb -e logcat</code>" in a different console. the logcat says "- waiting for device -" and never changes. Maybe the emulator never starts?</li>
</ul>

<p>Can someone please advise me on some things to try?</p>

<p>-- Thanks for your feedback
---- update</p>

<p>i started the emulator with <code>-show-kernel</code> and it highlighted some probelms. I will reinstall the SDK as you suggested, but here is the kernal output where the problems arise and where it stops and waits forever:</p>
