Hi all,

I have applied some of the gem5 patches to kernel version 2.6.27.6 (namely,
m5struct.diff and dprintf.diff). I am cross compiling it for ALPHA.

However, when I try to run gem5, I faced following message and gem5
shutsdown afterwards;

*panic: Device FrameBuffer not imlpmented*

Has anyone been able to successfully patch linux kernel with gem5 patches (
http://repo.gem5.org/linux-patches/file/0ab58d9bd9a5/m5/) ?

Thanks a bunch

--------------------------------------------

by the way here is what I did,

I am using the defaultconfig_2.6.27.diff file that came out from the patch.
But in order to compile I had to add following lines;

CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y
CONFIG_AGP_ALPHA_CORE=y

CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y

after that I get the error message above. To fix that, I added,

CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_MATROX=y

but no chance.
