Hi, You are better off using the perfmon kernel git tree directly. It does have better support for Nehalem + all the latest bug fixes.
to clone the tree, you need to have the git tool installed (git-core package). Then do: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/eranian/linux-2.6.git Once you have the tree, simply type make and answer yes to all perfmon related questions.
