Hi,

Thanks for the output. The output above looks to match up with opcontrol do_param_setup():

	if test "$KERNEL_SUPPORT" = "yes" -a -f $MOUNT/backtrace_depth; then
		set_param backtrace_depth $CALLGRAPH

However, the "test yes = yes" doesn't match up with the verion I have. Which specific versions of the kernel and oprofile are you using.  Do you have pointers to the specific sources for those?
