Android emulator crashes on Ubuntu 11.10
I had a permissions problem, much like Pramod's comment to the original question indicated. In my case, ddms wasn't executable.
To fix:
cd /path/to/android/sdk/tools
Once you're in the tools folder:
chmod +x ddms
The same approach should work if you have any other non-executable files causing similar problems.
I also faced the same problem, and finally got this solution:
- Newly install Android SDK tools & Support Library from AVD manager
- Don't use an old SDK which is copied from previous place
- Download latest SDK from Android AVD manager
- Set Preferences
Finally, restart Eclipse & PC
I may not have the solution for you problem, but I stopped using the emulator a few months ago and switched it with an x86 virtual machine inside a virtual box, it is so much faster (actually it's about 4 times faster than my HTC sensation).
you can find all the details and installation instructions here:

hope it helps.
