Hello Giannis,
       it is very easy to fix the problem.

As it is shown here:

http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/823e9c47714d5835?pli=1

It is enough to edit the file:

/usr/share/systemtap/runtime/time.c

locate the following line:

     ret = on_each_cpu(__stp_init_time, NULL, 0, 1);

and substitute it with this line:

    ret = on_each_cpu(__stp_init_time, NULL, 1);

Then you'll be able to use systemtap on Intrepid!

Let's wait for the official fix now :)

BTW great work guys, as usual!
