Hi Qureshi, I have just successfully booted the gem5 4.15 kernel with gem5 9048ef0ffbf21bedb803b785fb68f83e95c04db8 and command line: build/ARM/gem5.opt \ --debug-file trace.txt \ --listener-mode on \ --outdir out/run/gem5/aarch64/0/m5out \ submodules/gem5/configs/example/fs.py \ --disk-image rootfs.ext2 \ --kernel gem5-v4.15/aarch64/vmlinux \ --mem-size 256MB \ --num-cpus 32 \ --script readfile \ --command-line 'earlyprintk=pl011,0x1c090000 lpj=19988480 rw loglevel=8 mem=256MB root=/dev/sda console_msg_format=syslog nokaslr norandmaps panic=-1 printk.devkmsg=on printk.time=y rw console=ttyAMA0 - lkmc_home=/lkmc' \ --machine-type VExpress_GEM5_V1 \ --param 'system.panic_on_panic = True' \ --param 'system.realview.gic.gem5_extensions = True' \ ; Can you try to diff out the command lines? The most important difference I see is that I'm not passing a DTB, which enables automatic DTB generation, which is more likely to be correct than the manually created one.
