Where did you get pfmon? We certainly don't ship support for it in the kernel. then why is it in the core? yum provides pfmon returns pfmon.i386 3.2-0.060621.7.1 core Matched from: /usr/share/doc/pfmon-3.2 /usr/share/man/man1/pfmon.1.gz /usr/share/doc/pfmon-3.2/README /usr/bin/pfmon_gen /usr/bin/pfmon pfmon = 3.2-0.060621.7.1 Hmm, I even have pfmon.i386 installed on my machine. But perfmon is only available on ia64, I've been told. We need to remove all the other versions of pfmon from core. Sorry about that. i have a x64 machine at home and guess what same error host kernel does support perfmon Currently only the ia64 kernels have perfmon support. The x86_64 and i386 kernel do not have the needed patches for perfmon2 support in the kernels. The perfmon2 patches are not yet in the upstream kernels. So should existing pfmon be ExclusiveArch: ia64? Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks.
