Hi,

I have been trying to get bbench running on x86 gem5, I'm not sure if
anybody has tried it earlier (couldn't find anything) so I tried to
approach it in a rather naive way.

-> First I got x86 full-system setup running on gem5 x86 build (picked full
system files from http://www.m5sim.org/Download)

-> then I modified the image file to include firefox binary and bbench and
booted the modified image

But when I try to launch firefox, simulation just crashes ( as I was
expecting it to) probably the default image (from
http://www.m5sim.org/dist/current/x86/x86-system.tar.bz2) doesn't support x
rendering or other libraries needed by firefox.

So what's the best way to approach this problem:
1: try to figure out the dependencies missing from the default x86 linux
image and fix those or

2: try to get latest 12.04 (or some other) x86_64 ubuntu filesystem to work
with gem5

I feel that 2nd option would be more complicated if it requires modifying
kernel so I'd be inclined towards trying 1st way.. but I am not sure about
either ways

Please let me know if its possible to run a browser on the default x86
image and how should I go about it. or if there's some other solution

Thanks,
-Ashish
