Curious. Perhaps it's a permissions problem? My node says:
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 192, 0

I haven't produced a 2.4.0 kernel patch yet. I don't know of any
semantic incompatibilities in kernprof between the last available testxx
patch and v2.4.0. The last available patch is against test11. There
may be some patch failure that require some manual fixups.
