Hi Rodrigo, I see your problem. The disk image that you are trying to use is for the ALPHA instruction set (all binaries on the disk are compiled for the ALPHA ISA), but you're running gem5 using the x86 instruction set. The loop modprobe error indicated that you were trying to mount a disk with 32-bit Linux configs, but you will need a disk image for 64-bit (x86_64 to be specific).
We've had plenty of demand for an x86 disk image, so this morning, I cleaned one up and uploaded it to our site. Not all of the benchmarks work (e.g. facesim, ferret and vips are known to fail, and rtview is not on the image). That said, I've thoroughly tested blackscholes, bodytrack, canneal, dedup, fluidanimate, freqmine, streamcluster, swaptions and x264, and I can confirm that they work correctly. If you spend any time on the rest of the benchmarks to get them to work, we would really appreciate if you could contribute back binaries that can be added to the disk image. I've updated the PARSEC on gem5 site (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~parsec_m5/), and you can download the new image here: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~parsec_m5/x86root-parsec.img.bz2 Hope this helps.
