Hi

I have recently moved from kernel 2.6.19 to 2.6.24 ( both supplied by
DENX) and using the ppc architecture. I have found that the performance
counters that were available in /sys/devises/platform/fsl-perfmon.1 are
missing since switching to the newer kernel.

could someone pls. help with what i am missing
thanks pieter
