I tried perfmon2 on my Itanium 2 machine (Madison 9MB).

I applied patch perfmon-new-base-070621 to kernel 2.6.22. below is
some output of dmesg:
perfmon: Itanium 2 PMU detected, 28 PMCs, 18 PMDs, 4 counters (47 bits)
perfmon: Itanium 2 PMU installed
perfmon: Montecito PMU detection failed


I used libpfm-3.2-070725 and  pfmon-3.2-070725.tar.gz to create pfmon.

A simple usage of pfmon reported error.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pfmon-3.2-070725]# pfmon ls
cannot configure events: cannot assign events to counters
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pfmon-3.2-070725]# pfmon -e CPU_CYCLES ls
cannot configure events: cannot assign events to counters
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pfmon-3.2-070725]#


a quick debug showed function pfm_ita2_dispatch_counters retuned 
PFMLIB_ERR_NOASSIGN.

Originally, I wanted to test the DEAR/IEAR capability of perfmon, but
even a simple case also failed.

Thanks,
