Hi, Unfortunately, most of these issues seem like issues outside of M5, so it's pretty hard for us to help. You can go to the cross tools NG website and find a version of the cross compiler that works (http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/crosstool) for alpha. It seems like GCC 4.4.2 will work. It's likely that this wersion of GCC is new enough to successfully compile the linux kernel you mentioned below, but the 3.4.X version of gcc may be too old.
Good luck, Ali On Jan 6, 2011, at 4:04 PM, Takaaki Hanada wrote: > Hello, > > Please help me to make Linux kernel (vmlinux) 2.6.22 or above. > I want to use M5 with Full System(FS) mode for OoO Multi-Core processor > simulation.
