Make sure that the .config you use to compile your 2.6.24 matches the one used for the stock hardy kernel. You can normally grab it from /proc/config.gz. It should only prompt you for the perfmon options.

I suggest you grab libpfm and pfmon from http://perfmon2.sf.net, you can use version 3.5 for both. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ perfmon2-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perfmon2-devel
