I'm trying to work with starting up oprofile, and I'm running into a problem at this step:

opcontrol --vmlinux=/path/to/vmlinux

Ubuntu has no package called vmlinux, and when I do a locate vmlinux, I get a lot of files:

/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-14/arch/h8300/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds

Which one of these is the one I'm looking for?
