ICS emulator not loading

Question
I'm trying to run the Android emulator with the ICS (Android 4.0) OS but after a 15 minute wait on a fast quad core machine, it's still not doing anything. I understand it's emulating the arm cpu, hence it's slow - but this hasn't even gotten off the loading screen yet! Has anyone managed to get it to run? Any tips?
Solution
Try launching without the Launch from snapshot
feature
Launching some of my AVD's from command line with
./emulator -avd ...
Gives
savevm: unable to load section cpu
that may or may not be related to the problem(?), but basically launching without the snapshot starts up the emulator.
This happened after I upgraded to Android SDK to 4.0
OTHER TIPS
My solution is the starting Emulator manually but with Target 2.2., let's say with API level 8, then your project will be easily loaded on Emulator.
I made sure to turn off "Load from Snapshot". And mine will still not load. I am going on about an 1 hour now and still sitting
In my case, I succeeded to get ICS emulator by executing $ emulator-arm -avd your_avd_name
whereas launching from eclipse (i.e. going through emulator.exe
instead of emulator-arm.exe
) fails consistently.
