just don't look right. they refer to needing the RPMs kernel-debuginfo
and kernel-debuginfo-common, which don't appear to exist for a stock
x86 system.
am i misreading this? can someone clarify the actual steps involved?
thanks.
You need to enable the appropriate debug repository in /etc/yum.repos.d.
ah, of course. and i'm assuming that if i choose to build my own
kernel with kernel debugging enabled, i can do without those rpms.
Should work, yeah. If not, try the mailing list at
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/. Note that the technology is
under rapid development so you might hit some rough spots.
