I was able to boot 8 cores using atomic but I am still working on multicore 
timing or detailed models. I currently get a error when init calls fork at the 
end of booting. I am trying a couple of patches from the website to see if they 
will help.??

Is it possible to boot more than 4 cores in x86 FS?

Gabe,

Thanks for the patch.?? I did a hg pull and hg update this afternoon and have 
made some progress on booting.?? I found that with a custom built version of 
2.6.28.4 with smp on, the patch and the linux image files (linux-bigswap2.img 
and linux-x86.img) from gem5.org I am able to boot multicore x86 using the 
default cpu type which I think is atomic.

After working with Andrea, we noted that the boot problem for x86 happens with 
the PARSEC root image but not the linux-x86.img from gem5.org.?? This was 
tested using the custom kernel and the default cpu type.

I am currently attempting to test the detailed cpu-type with 2 cpus.?? I will 
let you know of any errors I run into.


Thanks,

Jason Clemons



Quoting Gabe Black <[email protected]>:

I looked into this more, and the code that sets up the memory hierarchy
was broken a little while ago. I have a patch that seems to fix it
(attached) but then it gets stuck a little later. I remember a while ago
someone had problems with atomic operations not being supported by the
memory system fully, but I don't remember the specifics. This might be
that problem too.

Yes, I have. You're using O3 though, and that support is fairly new.

Hi,

Has anyone been able to boot multiple cpus wth FS mode on x86 ? If
yes, it
would greatly help if you could share your environmental setup. The
issues
I am facing I have already posted in some previous emails.

Thanks for your help!
