I am trying to run android tests on my Jenkins server. The fist problem is that my machine does not support hardware acceleration. I can see this in the logs so it could be the problem:
15:56:33 emulator: CPU Acceleration status: KVM requires a CPU that supports vmx or svm
15:56:33 emulator: WARNING: x86_64 emulation may not work without hardware acceleration!
I can start the emulator by passing the following flags:
-accel off -no-accel -no-audio -gpu off -verbose
But it seems to wait for the emulator and times out. Please see the full logs from the Jenkins server:

Any idea how to take my investigation forward?
It was already a year ago, but here is what I suggest for everybody who tries to set up Android build process in Jenkins:
Access Jenkins machine/server directly (e.g. via ssh) and try to launch emulator from terminal. In logs posted by OP, you can see that Jenkins tried to launch emulator:
Maybe 90s (90000 miliseconds) isn't enough? You can launch following command on your server from terminal:
and measure how long it actually take.
If it takes too much time you may consider to keep emulator running on Jenkins machine and just assume it's always ready, so you need run following command to your UI/instrumented tests:
