Hi Wael,

Can you try it on a virtual machine? The Oracle VirtualBox can easily run a linux (Fedora) and do what you want. It's fast enough to create a image. Well, my experience is based on a file system image rather than the whole disk image. Hopefully it can be considered though...

Hi Eng.Gabe,

As i mentioned before i can't run gem5ing.py on mac os ,so i am really blocked.

I am still confused what should i do to configure the whole disk image on Mac OS?

I need hints or advices .
For example :
Can i use Mac commands to set up the disk image ?!

Thank you in advance for your time and support.
Best Regards

    That's not a file system image, it's a whole disk image including
    a partition table at the start. You'll need to skip over the
    beginning to get to the start of the file system. You can refer to
    gem5img.py to see how it's done on Linux.

    Hi All,

    After building gem5 based on ISA x86,i started to follow steps
    for disk image (http://www.m5sim.org/Disk_images) as i need full
    system.
    As i mentioned before
    (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03673.html) ,
    i observed that Mac's do not have loop devices and losetup program.

    But i found another command to mount the image : hdiutil
    So tried to use it as shown:
    hdiutil mount linux-x86.img

    But i got this message :
    hdiutil: mount failed - no mountable file systems

    Please any advice/hint will be highly appreciated to solve this
    problem or set up disk image on Mac OS in general as i am blocked.

    Thank you so much for time and support.
    Best Regards
    Wael Amr
