Hello,

A quick tip would be copying the config of the released ARM linux kernel in
the website and pasting as .config in the new kernel source. You should run
'make menuconfig' to adjust the .config to the available options
(semi-automatic process) and then enable GTS.

You can also copy-paste the initial kernel args (an option inside 'make
menuconfig').

It seems that the boot process can be shortened in gem5 by removing some
useless steps (i.e. bogomips calculation).

Regards,
