This is a typical sign of a mismatch between the kernel and the user library (libpfm) in terms of syscall numbers. Make sure you are using the libpfm you think. Sometimes, there is another one laying around. I don't know which version of pfmon ships with Fedora. It used to be that libpfm would have the perfmon syscall numbers hardcoded in it and based on kernel versions it would pick the right one. But if the library is too old, then it may not know about 2.6.27. More recent library version are able to determine the version via /sys/kernel/perfmon/syscall. Try download the latest pfmon, libpfm from the perfmon2 web site. > > btw: the pfmon as well as the library are the Fedora supplied ones (rpm) > > Many thanks for your advice, > Philip > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!

Your production scanning environment may not be a perfect world - but thanks to Kodak, there's a perfect scanner to get the job done! With the NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanner you'll get full speed at 300 dpi even with all image processing features enabled. http://p.sf.net/sfu/kodak-com _______________________________________________ perfmon2-devel mailing list perfmon2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perfmon2-devel
