trace in dmesg

trace in dmesg

[Mike Wright]

Hi all,

I'm (finally, yeah!!!) running xen-4.1.1 with linux-3.0.0-rc5 in 
runlevel 5 and so far seems indistinguishable from bare metal.

However, this is in dmesg, and I wonder if it is important.

It is and it is not :-) Its telling us that performance counters can't be
enabled. Which we do know about but haven't yet investigated in how
to make them work properly.

Thanks for reporting this! What is the graphic card you are using?
