The problem is that the vmlinuz file in /boot and modules in
/lib/modules do not carry debug symbols. Therefor the vmlinux
and unstripped modules would be needed in a linux-debug-2.6.x-x-all
package carrying these would be nice. See the following discussion
about systemtap for example:
As a workaround for this if you want the kernel symbols for OProfile,
you can use this script instead of opreport:
http://marc.info/?l=oprofile-listm=121514749918466q=p3
It fetches kernel symbol information from /proc/kallsyms and lists
them in a format identical to what opreport -l uses.
Hi,
+!. I also wish the vmlinux can also be shipped for use by oprofile
without the need to recompile the kernel.

Hello,
To use oprofile with kernel profiling enabled, we need the uncompressed version
of the kernel image, vmlinux.
When using the debian kernel image this is not possible, it is required to take
the kernel sources and to compile a new image with

Use gunzip to get them (at least for architectures which simply
compresses it with gzip). Some architectures also uses uncompressed
files.
