Hi all ,

Does anyone tried to boot the linux disk image with Gentoo stage 3 linux
distribution on Alpha Full System Simulation Mode in M5 simulator
successfully ?
I tried to boot that by 1st downloading the iso file which contain the
gentoo stage 3 linux distro filesystem , create an empty disk image by using
mkblankimage.sh and then copy the Gentoo linux distribution into the empty
disk image and let the M5 simulator to boot.

However, when I try to boot the linux disk image, I encounter some of the
problem here in the M5 simulator

INIT: version 2.88 booting

/dev/ROOT:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>


 * Filesystem couldn't be fixed :(

I'm using linux kernel v 2.26.27.6 and with no problem on the linux kernel
too old as reported earlier in the previous M5 simulator mailing list,
