However I gnome user with same openSUSE-11.4 (build 0024) version using a GnomeLiveCD install has this working. The following was added to the grub menu options line init=/sbin/bootchartd For example, on the 32-bit LXDE, the following was noted in the /var/log/boot.msg (which illustrates kernel code): <5>[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3320620A_9QFAJR66-part6 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3320620A_9QFAJR66-part3 splash=silent quiet vga=0x317 init=/sbin/bootchartd and later one observes this: <4>[ 8.777289] bootchart continuing boot However after boot is complete, there is no bootchart.tgz file present in /var/log nor is there any PNG file in /var/log. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install bootcheck on an LXDE or KDE PC 2. put : init=/sbin/bootchartd #in options line of grub 3. boot and look in /var/log for files that were supposed to be created Actual Results: there is no bootchart.tgz file present in /var/log nor is there any PNG file in /var/log. Expected Results: There should be a bootchart.tgz file present in /var/log and there should be an associated PNG file in /var/log. This can be a useful application for debugging problems, so by it not functioning it may make it more difficult for providing support. I raised this bug against component "OTHER" because "Boot load configuration" did not appear appropriate. Please move to different "COMPONENT" in Bugzilla as appropriate. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
