For some reason, sourceforge created a separated thread for my reply, so I'm posting it again.
@corey: Thanks for the response. Yes, I'm booted into the new perfmon kernel. Regarding the pseudo files, I don't see anything with name perfmon in / sys/proc/kernel . Does that mean that the installation is notcomplete? I can run pfmon -L to list all the events though. This is the output of dmesg: r...@host kernel # dmesg | grep perfmon [ 162.928554] perfmon: version 2.9 [ 162.930415] perfmon: CPU hotplug support enabled [ 164.880788] perfmon: added sampling format default Thanks, Vishal On Nov 27, 2010, at 22:00, Vishal Gupta wrote: > Hi, > > I'm having problems getting perfmon to run.
