That would suck. Of course, it's entirely possible that the fix is not working too. Does your /sbin/bootchartd have this in it: # If we were started during the initrd, -but- we have no # init=/sbin/bootchartd, then there will be no-one to stop # the collector will just keep # running with no-one to stop it, so bail here. if [ -e $JAIL/started_from_initrd ]; then if ! grep -q init=/sbin/bootchartd proc/cmdline; then echo "aborting initrd bootchart setup - init not set." umount proc return fi fi Can you try the latest version from git to see if that helps ? In this case - we should never run the collector I think.

It is possible that Factory has some devices pre-populated in /dev that we use the absence of to detect whether we are in an initrd or not. Can you also attach your /boot/grub/menu.lst (are you using an initrd?).

I have no idea why we do that, quite possibly we really don't need to :-) If you read the magic: /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/setup-bootchart.sh script you will see what goes on there. Can you try: - mv init sbin/init - ln -s sbin/bootchartd init + cp -a init sbin/init in there - and re-run 'mkinitrd' ? Also, I guess we should fix the IN_INITRD thing; if you are using the code from git master [ as you should be - ah ! ] ... perhaps you are not. Did you re-run mkinitrd after installing the new bootchart ? if not - you are using the old code in your initrd :-) first lets try just running mkinitrd and re-starting - that is the most obvious explanation.

I was using git HEAD version already, but never run 'mkinitrd'. Something for the README :) Thanks also means that the git version fixed the problem, so a new package would be nice for other brave testers. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
