profiling the kernel

[Alex T. <al...@fc...>]

Hi,

How does one generate a kernel profile?   I have hits in
/var/opd/samples/}boot}vmlinuz-2.4.4 but when I try to use
oprofpp -l /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.4, I get following:

Counter 0 counted CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events (clocks processor is not
halted) with a unit mask of 0x00 (Not set)
oprofpp: BFD format failure for /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.4.

My vmlinuz-2.4.4 is a bz image.

Thanks,
Alex
