Hello, everyone.

I am trying to run a full-system simulation using the ARM "VExpress_ELT"
platform modeled in gem5. I am using the latest source codes from the gem5
repository.

I compiled linux kernel 2.6.38 to target the ARM Versatile Express platform.
I used the corresponding config file and the linux kernel source code patch
from the arm website (www.arm.com) to compile the linux kernel.

I am using the "fs.py" script file as it is, except that I changed the
machine type to VExpress_ELT and changed the main memory size to 1GB. I am
also using the linux kernel that I compiled instead of using the
pre-compiled kernel provided by the gem5 website.

However, it seems like the simulation is not proceeding after gem5 loads
the kernel.
I am wondering whether the problem is caused by my linux kernel or by gem5.

My question is should I somehow change the config file and recompile the
linux kernel or should I debug gem5?
Are the two ARM Versatile Express platforms (VExpress_ELT and VExpress_EMM)
currently stable to use for full-system simulation?
Any hints/comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Kiyeon
