Answer 1

The approach worked for me.

MBP 2012 w/ 10.10.5

Step 1: Uninstall any HAXM you have.

Go to Terminal and Hit.

sudo /Library/Extensions/intelhaxm.kext/Contents/Resources/uninstall.sh

Choose 'Y'

Step 2: Go to the link - ( HAXM github -> Wiki -> HAXM 6.x Release Archive )

https://github.com/intel/haxm/wiki/HAXM-6.x-Release-Archive#HAXM_v621

Download as per your preference. For me haxm-macosx_v6_2_1.zip worked like charm.

Step 3: Extract the zip and proceed with Installation.

Step 4: Go to Terminal and hit

kextstat | grep intel

It should populate something like this: (this is what I got in mine.)

  146    0 0xffffff7f82b66000 0x1d000    0x1d000    com.intel.kext.intelhaxm (6.2.1) <7 5 4 3 1>

If you get the similar, You are done. It should be working now. (Well, atleast, it worked for me. )

If it shows blank or showed 'failed to load... ( like the top )', try a different Release from the link.
