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 Gentoo Linux; http://www.gentoo.org/ Copyright 1999-2009 Gentoo Foundation; Distributed under the GPLv2 Press I to enter interactive boot mode * Mounting proc at /proc ...
