Hi Mike, As documented in /usr/share/doc/latencytop/README.Debian, latencytop needs a kernel with the CONFIG_LATENCYTOP option to run. Enabling this option on all (non-debug) kernels is not a good idea: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600935 So if you want to use latencytop, you need to build a custom kernel with latencytop support. I'm lowering the severity of this bug, but I'm not closing it yet. Maybe the fact that Debian doesn't ship kernel with CONFIG_LATENCYTOP should be documented explicitly in README.Debian.
