Re: [gem5-users] Linux boot
The issue with booting with KVM is resolved when only applying the second patch. The issue we now see is after logging in we get a "Login timeout after 60 seconds" before we could type the username and password. Has anyone run into this issue?

Re: [gem5-users] Linux boot
Thanks for getting back. But we need the full Ubuntu for running server workloads. We looked at this link: https://www.mail-archive.com/gem5-users@gem5.org/msg15053.html Where a user has gotten this resolved but when applying the 2 patches doesnt help our case. Any other options?

Thanks Abhishek. We get the following error with KVM panic: KVM: Failed to enter virtualized mode (hw reason: 0x8021) Any techniques to get over this error Thanks Niranjan On Thu, Feb 27, 2020 at 11:40 AM Abhishek Singh < abhishek.singh199...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > You can use KVM CPU, it will boot the system fast as it works on host > machine speed. > > On Thu, Feb 27, 2020 at 1:00 AM niranjan soundararajan < > niranja...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hello >> >> We are booting Ubuntu 18.0.4 and kernel 5.2.3 on x86_64 bit core.

Re: [gem5-users] Linux boot
Hi Yuan, The way I simulate DerivO3CPU, (first run)is I run with AtomicSimpleCPU and create a checkpoint after the boot by using command “/sbin/m5 checkpoint” and then run the benchmark. In my second run I restore checkpoint using AtomicSimpleCPU and then switch to DerivO3CPU. And then I get the final stats using DerivO3CPU.

Re: [gem5-users] Linux boot
Hi, Abhishek, I also have similar questions. I can boot the ubuntu18.04 and kernel 5.2.3 with timingSimpleCPu and KVM, but I want to run simulation with DeriveO3CPU. Do you know how to change the CPU to DeriveO3 after we boot the system with kvm or timingsimple cou? Best regards.

Re: [gem5-users] Linux boot
Hi, You can use KVM CPU, it will boot the system fast as it works on host machine speed.
