I apologize for my carelessness, Nilay. I am sorry to say that I still can not prevent the error even I revert the patch. To make you understand my simulation flow, I list my process as following.

Step 1: I made a checkpoint using TimingSimple CPU type.

$build/ALPHA_MESI_CMP_directory/gem5.opt -d ../exp/2012-11-30-ruby_ckpt configs/example/se.py -n 2 --caches --l1d_size=32kB --l1d_assoc=2 --l1i_size=32kB --l1i_assoc=2 --l2cache --l2_size=4MB --l2_assoc=8 --num-l2caches=1 -c ../app/mcf_base.alphaev67-gcc44-nn;../app/bzip2_base.alphaev67-gcc44-nn -o ../app/inp.in > inp.out 2>> inp.err;../app/input.program 10 > input.program.out 2>> input.program.err *-I 50000000 --checkpoint-at-end --cpu-type=timing*

Step 2: I restored from the checkpoint using TimingSimple CPU type and after cache warmed up then switch to O3 cpu type for detailed measurement.

$build/ALPHA_MESI_CMP_directory/gem5.opt -d ../exp/2012-11-30-ruby_ckpt --stats-file=stats.ruby configs/example/se.py -n 2 --caches --l1d_size=32kB --l1d_assoc=2 --l1i_size=32kB --l1i_assoc=2 --l2cache --l2_size=4MB --l2_assoc=8 --num-l2caches=1 -c ../app/mcf_base.alphaev67-gcc44-nn;../app/bzip2_base.alphaev67-gcc44-nn -o ../app/inp.in > inp.out 2>> inp.err;../app/input.program 10 > input.program.out 2>> input.program.err *-I 100000000 --ruby -W 20000 --restore-with-cpu=timing --cpu-type=timing -r 1 -s 1*

As I mentioned previously, if '-s' not specified, '-W' does not work according to config/common/simulation.py script. However, in this case, the errors occurred again.

I am not ready to believe that you made the change I asked you to make. In fact, it seems that you have made additional changes to the file configs/common/Simulation.py as one of the print statements (line 438) is missing from the output you posted.
