The image needs some sort of partition table and this one works
perfectly fine.

Hi
I have a related question. I downloaded both the old and new versions
of the ARM binaries and disk images from http://www.gem5.org/Download
Once I extracted the tars, I cded to the disks directory and ran
'file
*' in both. I see that the file type is x86 boot sector in the newer
arm-system-2011-08.tar.bz2 tar ball and the file type is Linux ext2
file system in the older one. Have x86 file system images been
bundled
into the arm tar balls by mistake ? Below is the output from file* :
anirudh@anirudh:~/Downloads$ file arm-system/disks/*
arm-system/disks/ael-arm.ext2: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data,
UUID=7d6b3d62-f52a-4e74-9502-8ed8ee648c5c
anirudh@anirudh:~/Downloads$ file arm-system-2011-08/disks/*
