Ali,
Thanks! I was able to boot the disk image that bbench uses
(ARMv7a-Gingerbread-Android.SMP.mouse.nolock.img). But when I try to boot
the clean image (ARMv7a-Gingerbread-Android.SMP.mouse.nolock.clean.img), I
get this following error :

panic: Error opening
/gem5/disks/ARMv7a-Gingerbread-Android.SMP.mouse.nolock.clean.img)
 @ cycle 0
[open:build/ARM_FS/dev/disk_image.cc, line 79]
Memory Usage: 550208 KBytes
Program aborted at cycle 0
Aborted

The image file is there at the location, so its not a case of "file not
found". I downloaded the image file again, but still get the same error.

On the other hand, given my original intent of doing specific actions right
after a full GUI boot, I am guessing I can still do that using the bbench
disk image, but replacing the bbench rcS file with my own custom rcS file?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Manu
