My setup is as follows:

Host with 64 bit Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty)
rootstock version 0.1.99.4
qemu version 0.14.0

I create the disk image using the following steps:

1) ./gem5img.py init ubuntu-arm.img 3072 -t ext3
2) sudo rootstock --fqdn gem5sim --login gem5 --password password
--imagesize 3G --seed build-essential --dist natty
3) mount the ubuntu-arm.img I just created
4) cp and untar the rootstock tarball to the ubuntu-arm.img using sudo
privileges.
5) Modify the startup scripts etc., according to the directions on gem5.org.
6) Try to boot this image with the kernel provided on gem5.org

As far as being able to apt-get packages on the image from gem5.org, I was
curious about this as well, so I tried to apt-get packages to the image I
created on a machine different from the one on which it was created, it
also fails with the same error. However, I can use apt-get on this image if
I do it on the machine I used to create it. Are there some machine specific
keys or something that apt-get looks at?
