Hello Lingchuan Meng, Does your kernel have the perfmon2 patch set compiled into it? perfmon2 is not yet in the kernel.org kernel at this point nor in many distros, and so you either need to patch your current kernel with the appropriate perfmon2 patch set from here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=144822&package_id=159787 Or you can use Stephane's latest kernel from his git tree via the "git clone" command: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/eranian/linux-2.6 If you don't have the git tool, you will need to download it too from: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ If you have a choice, it's usually best to use the code from git as it has the latest bug improvements and fixes.
