Package: oprofile
Version: 0.9.6-1
Using the standard Debian kernel on IA64 McKinley, I do:
sudo opcontrol --vmlinuz=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-3-mckinley --init
and see:
FATAL: Module oprofile not found.
Kernel doesn't support oprofile
However:
grep OPROFILE /boot/config-2.6.32-3-mckinley
CONFIG_HAVE_OPROFILE=y
README.Debian says:
for 2.6 kernels,
the OProfile kernel module is part of the Linux kernel source and
must be built from the 'kernel-source' package.
however,
sudo apt-get install kernel-source
E: Package kernel-source has no installation candidate
I tried using linux-source-2.6.32-3 instead, but there seems no way to
build an oprofile module.
