Resources for studying the Android kernel



Ive been trying to study the Android kernel but I cant find any resource that dwells into the depths of the topic. I wanted to look into how Android specifically handles scheduling, garbage-collection, synchronization and how it implements its file-system. I understand that Android is based on the Linux kernel, but there are many dis-similarities between the two. Any idea where can I get a detailed explanation of the above topics with respect to the Android kernel?





PS:I have already looked into Processes and Threads at the dev site and This post on scheduling





Thx.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
