Hello again, I just tried out the latest perfmon2 kernel on a 4 processor POWER5 machine, and it appears to be stable and passes the PAPI ctests as well.
So the problems I was seeing on the POWER4 machine may be moot. - Corey > Hi Stephane, > > Yesterday I built a new kernel for a POWER4 machine (initially running SLES > 10 SP1) from your latest git repository.
