Steve, here is the output after putting in the print statements.

Creating  root  params
Creating  root
Done creating  root
Creating  system  params
Creating  system
Done creating  system
Creating  system.l1_cntrl0  params

It seems odd that it tries to create L1DcacheMemory right after it creates
system.  Can you add print statements like in this patch and see what it
shows?

This is the output I obtained from SimObject.py, clearly there is a cycle.
Should not the cache controllers be part of ruby, instead of being part of
system? Once they become part of ruby, it should be possible to traverse the
controller array and figure out all the caches.

 I think you're looking in the wrong place... you want to look at
getCCObject() in src/python/m5/SimObject.py where the error message is
coming from, and see if you can add some print statements there.
