I would recommend staying with "stable" kernels rather than experimental
-mm kernels when possible.

Make sure to review the LTTng manual on the lttng.org website,

The 2.6.30 patch should work. Can you paste the whole sequence of:

wget...

and the commands you use to apply the patchset, with the error you get?

Thanks,

Mathieu
