Hi Brent,

The ia64 SuSE SLES9 kernel is based on a 2.6.5 kernel.  That
kernel does not have the oprofile perfmon support patch that was
accepted into the 2.6.9 ia64 kernel.  That patch is necessary for
supporting the PMU metrics for oprofile.  I am planning to file
this in SuSE's bugzilla, but since the deadline for SP1 is past,
expect this to be fixed (if agreed to be fixed by SuSE) in the
SP2 timeframe.

Regards,
Alex
