Hi
Thanks for the clarification. I ran the Android kernel ( built using
the config files you provided) with the partition table based file
image ( from the gem 5 site) and it seems to boot alright . At least
there are no kernel panics.
1. I guess I ll have to add something to make a shell appear, because
m5term seems to be idle after displaying some journaling messages
related to the file system.
The android kernel might not boot a normal file system.
2. Do I need to add the partition table to the ext images I created
as
well ? Is that the reason I got a kernel panic in the first place.
Yes.

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/*
