Hi Dave, M5 support for FS mode in SPARC is currently limited to a single core and an atomic CPU. While a lot of the code for multiple cores was written, it was never tested or completely finished. Additionally, there are some issues that prevent a timing CPU or the O3 CPU from working with SPARC in FS mode.
