Re: help with running systemtap


I think I am running the correct kernel -

[root@robot ~]# uname -a
Linux robot 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Thu May 1 06:28:41 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

however I did install wrong debuginfo packages at first (14-108) but I did removed them and installed the correct ones. Maybe rpm -e left something around? I  guess I should just reinstall all at this point ...

--pv

I guess your running kernel is 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686, see uname -a.
But your kernel-debuginfo is 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686. Those two don't match 
as stap requires.
