...ICS in VMware & additional stuff/info
@ciscogee: If kernel stalls with kernel panic, in most cases it is lack of VT-X support on host.
If ”init: cannot find /system/bin/servicemanager” occurs, I suppose, that something with vdi disk association is wrong. I have had it once during my attempt to transfer the image to VMware (see my notes below).

VT-X support?.. i dont what is it.. btw, im using Windows not Ubuntu..
Nvr mnd, i try using VMLite 1st..
@suaji: VT-X is a feature from your CPU that supports virtualization from CPU.
BTW - I'm also using Windows 7 as host ;-).
Just a note: VMLite uses the same restrictions as Virtualbox, because VMLite is derived from Virtualbox (like YouWave Android Emulator as well). e.g. VMLite also requires a machine with VT-X or AMD-V support.
It's crazy, I'm in contact with VMLite developers. They told me, that ICS won't run on a machine without hardware virtualization (kernel stalls), but it runs on a VT-X enabled platform, although they disabled VT-X support in Virtualbox (see screenshot in the blog article linked below).

Some guys here in this thread asking for a VMware image of ice cream sandwich. Just like to inform you that I managed to do the trick (I've converted the Virtualbox ISC build for VMware).
Details and a step by step tutorial are here:

Maybe it's helpful

@huisinro: glad, to see you here. Concerning your suggestion, yes, it should do the trick. But maybe there is another solution. In an older
blog article I reported about a honeycomb x86 test drive on Asus Eee PC 701 (that machine comes with a poor screen resolution). User @Andres Garcia left me a comment, that he managed it to install the application “LCD Resolution” and changing “LCD Dencity” to 125. Then he was able to run Honeycomb 3.2 on Eee PC 701 (his photo of his black Eee PC 701 is spread since then through the web). Maybe the guys at VMlite can try to integrate such an .apk into the ICS build (guess they will read it here ;-).
I should also mention, that the guys at VMLite corporation managed to create a vdi image with SD card support (still need to be monted manually). See dissussion
here.
