Hello, thank you for the reply.
I have tried to compile the kernel, but there are so many parameters to configure (pages and pages with y/n? or 1.2.3... choices), and the final result is a failure so far. I might need to study it harder, but some experience from someone who already did configure and compile the kernel would be really beneficial. I understand that 12.04 is really old, but some things won't work on newer versions of Linux. For instance, there is a great tutorial on how to create an image for GEM5: http://www.lowepower.com/jason/creating-disk-images-for-gem5.html . However, the util/gem5img.py fails on newer versions of Linux (I have tried util/gem5img.py from gem5-stable and developers version).
