Hi, Yunxia
I have never tried 32bit full system mode, but I think the key idea are the
same. You can start with Joson's blog
http://www.lowepower.com/jason/setting-up-gem5-full-system.html
The most tricky part of booting a Ubuntu on gem5 is compile the right kernel
(with right module), which means you need to be very careful with the config
file of kernel build.
Basically, gem5 not support kernel module loading at boot time, so all kernel
module need to build into the kernel (change all =m to =y in the configure file)
You can start with Joson's config file
http://www.lowepower.com/jason/files/config (test in 4.8.13)
Or mine
https://github.com/jimmysitu/gem5-bench/blob/master/linux_configs/config-X86 (
test in 4.14)
You need to modify it for 32bit kernel
Another key point of making the ubuntu img is the partitaiton
I suggest you try to install ubuntu on qemu with one partition, and without
swap or other partition
Do remember format your partition to ext3 or ext4, and your kernel support ext3
or ext4 file system
Hope this will help your gem5 full system boot, and good luck.

????: [gem5-users] How to build a linux image for full system simulation
hello all,
I use thesenways to build the disk.
Firstly, I built 14.04.5-i386.img and 4.8.13 kernel by QEMU. I can built 32-bit
kernel and 64-bit kernel, but I can??t built 64-bit disk, because the OS I use
now is 32 bit. When I associate the image to one of the kernels, it shows the
problem as last time ????gem5.opt: build/x86/arch/x86/tlb.cc:357: fault
x86isa::tlb::translate(requestptr, threadcontext*, basetlb::translation*,
basetlb::mode, bool&, bool): assertion `entry' failed?? attached in image .
??. I also associate 16.04.4-i386.img to 4.8.13-32 kernel, it also shows the
same problem.
Secondly, I use ??dd if= of=?? to build 18.04.1-64.img and associate it to
kernel 4.8.13-64. It shows ??end Kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount
root fs on unknown-block(3,1)??, which is also posted in the Mailing list.
Now I use ??util/gem5img.py?? to build disk. When I make Makefile.x86 it has
error and the reason is that the Linux System OS type is 32-bit.
could guys give any new idea?
With best regards
Yunxia Zhu
