The instructions on the website (and the script in util) don't create
an ext2 image, they create a whole disk image that includes the
partition table. X86 doesn't use the boot sector to boot, and it
doesn't load the kernel off the disk. The documentation I'm referring
to is here:
http://gem5.org/Disk_images
If you're using documentation that says something different from
what's at that link, let us know so we can correct it.

Hi
I see that all the full system file images begin with an x86 boot
sector followed by partition tables. The instructions on the GEM5 site
tell you how to create an ext2 image, but not how to create an ext2
image along with the x86 boot sector and partition tables. Without the
partition tables, the kernel seems to hang on every new file image
that I create saying kernel panic. Does anyone know how to address
this issue ?
