oprofile-0.5.1 on redhat 7.3

[Scott D. <sc...@te...>]

problem # 1:

i just compiled and installed oprofile-0.5.1 on redhat 7.3.  when i try 
to start the daemon, i get the following error:

modprobe: Can't locate module oprofile

i was able to insmod the module and started ok.  i noticed that the new 
module was installed as /lib/modules/2.4.18-3custom/oprofile/oprofile.o. 
 for grins, i created a link under /lib/modules/2.4.18-3 to same but no 
dice.  how should i set it up so that it finds the module?... 
/etc/modules.conf alias?

problem # 2:

i'm running win4lin which provides a patched kernel.  it's a compressed, 
x86 image file.  when i passed it as my --vmlinux argument, it told me 
that it wasn't a valid vmlinux file.  i understand that but given that i 
only have the x86 image, what can i do?  is there a way to extract the 
uncompressed kernel from the x86 image file?

thanks.
