For various reasons I had to boot up ICS on gem5 today. I ran into a problem where service manager among others exiting during the boot process, causing the kernel to crash. The console didn't come up because that service also exited. Also, if you add a logcat service to init.rc, logcat also exits. If this sounds like your problem, I figured out what the cause is. Note, the same kernel worked fine for Jellybean. I'm not sure why, but ICS depends on a 1GB/3GB kernel/user virtual memory space split. The fix below adjusts the kernel/user split and the page offset accordingly.
I just thought I'd let everyone know since the question has been posed several times on the mailing list. Small caveat, I tested the fix in a different (faster) environment, it translates to gem5 well in my experience.
