Hi Muhammet,

Thanks for raising the issue. The gem5 website will be updated to
include the template packer script.

You can find the script in the attachment as well. You might want to
modify the script before running packer. The parameters such as
qemu_binary, vm_cpus, vm_memory, and ssh_wait_timeout should be
changed accordingly to your system.

Note that, by default, ssh_wait_timeout is set to 60 minutes, so if
the installation is not finished within an hour, the building process
will be stopped. You might want to change this parameter, as the
installation will utilize Internet connection to download the
packages.

On a fairly recent machine, and given the US' Internet connection
speed, it would take about half an hour or so to build the disk image.
You might see the line similar to "waiting for SSH" hanging for a
while. You can use a VNC viewer to see whether the installation makes
any progress.

Regards,
Hoa Nguyen
