I just updated to OS X v10.9 (Mavericks), and now whenever I start up any of my emulators, as soon as the emulator starts up, my entire computer freezes with a spinning progress indicator in the center of the screen (not a beachball, the progress indicator is similar to what you see when shutting down, but the screen hasn't faded to grey).

Notice the progress indicator in the bottom center of the screen. The computer is frozen at this point.

I've tried:

  • Turning off GPU acceleration
  • Uninstalling and re-installing the latest Intel HAXM
  • Re-creating my AVDs
  • Updated my Android SDK-Tools

The only thing that works is to uninstall Intel HAXM / not use hardware acceleration.

I'm guessing there's a bug with Mavericks and HAXM similar to what motivated the release for 1.0.6 of HAXM for OS X v10.8 (Mountain Lion)?

The following crash report is indicating a kernel panic generated by HAXM.

Intel released a hotfix for the Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM). If you have installed HAXM on Microsoft Windows* 8.1 or OS X 10.9 you should install the Hotfix.

Download of the hotfix from the HAXM download page: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager/

Thanks, Alex (Intel)

-edit-

It looks like the hotfix link has been moved (temporarily? ...). Use this link to get to the OSX Hotfix:
