Issue with oprofile and Virtual Machines?

I built oprofile 1.1.0 from source on Ubuntu 12.04 (32-bit), but I'm getting the unsupported processor error:

Here are some details:
$ uname -a
Linux Ub32 3.5.0-36-generic #57~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 20 15:22:35 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

$ operf
Your kernel's Performance Events Subsystem does not support your processor type.

My underlying hardware is an Intel i7, therefore I'm suspicious that the problem is running Ubuntu inside a virtual machine - in this case Parallels on OSX.

Is there any guidance or documentation on how to run operf under VMs?

I read one suggestion to switch back to 0.9.9, but I have a couple of questions.


1.      Will I need to rebuild my kernel to include a kernel driver for the older format?

2.      How do I uninstall the existing 1.1.0 build that is now in my /usr folder?

3.      Am I likely to have issues with 0.9.9 on a VM?


Thanks,
Brad
