Hi Jaroslav - can I get your take on this one?

I've confirmed that running

yum install systemtap tuned-utils kernel-debuginfo 

in F16 as per http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Power_Management_Guide/diskdevstat_and_netdevstat.html does produce a report that kernel-debuginfo is not available.

However, running the following command as per http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=248478 does appear to install kernel-debuginfo:

yum --enablerepo=updates-debuginfo install kernel-debuginfo

This could then be followed by yum install systemtap tuned-utils , I assume.

My question is, should I update the guide to add this repo command? Or is kernel-debuginfo no longer strictly necessary, possibly relating to its absence from the usual repo?

I don't want to complicate the procedure unnecessarily.

Thanks for your time,

Jack

Hi Jack,

the kernel-debuginfo is required for the disk/netdevstat commands. I think the most clear way is to use the following commands:

# debuginfo-install kernel
# yum install systemtap tuned-utils

In case you have 32 bit x86 machine and kernel with the Physical Address Extension (PAE) support you will have to replace 'kernel' by 'kernel-PAE' in the above mentioned command (i.e. debuginfo-install kernel-PAE).

Thanks very much, Jaroslav. I've edited the section accordingly for commit 575cd3534c00df64fe9bee443b354776d9963685

bob p - this updated procedure will appear in the F17 version of the guide, and Comment 2/the commit above gives you a way to proceed in the meantime. Thanks for reporting this.
