Assuming that you are using alpha ISA, they have the steps mentioned in the FAQ. "BigTsunami support is included in the standard M5 Alpha build, but booting with more than 4 CPUs requires modifications to the PAL code and kernel as well. Take a look at the Download page for our Linux patches and modified PAL code. Note that even with the BigTsunami changes, simulatin". Here is the download page: http://www.m5sim.org/wiki/index.php/Download
So you need need to download the latest patched linux kernel and make sure M5 boots with that kernel. You also need to download the latest palcode and make sure M5 uses that palcode. With that said, I have not seen a successfull boot of more than 16 cores for linux 2.6.18, but others have.
