Andreas, Thanks. ARM would be useful for me, but I would like at least to try to get x86 working, since that would be more useful for my purposes. I came across this page (link <http://www.m5sim.org/Compiling_a_Linux_Kernel>) explaining the patching that has to be done to the kernel to make it work. I will try to work through that.
