Hi Thanks for the clarification. I ran the Android kernel ( built using the config files you provided) with the partition table based file image ( from the gem 5 site) and it seems to boot alright . At least there are no kernel panics. 1. I guess I ll have to add something to make a shell appear, because m5term seems to be idle after displaying some journaling messages related to the file system. 2. Do I need to add the partition table to the ext images I created as well ? Is that the reason I got a kernel panic in the first place. Anirudh > > Ali > > >> Hi >> >> I have a related question.
