Hello,

I'm trying to to use ubootchartd with TC 2.8.1, compiled the code, remastered the image with the ubootchartd, ubootchart_bin, ubootchart.conf, start.sh and finish.sh ... but:

when I boot the machine no bootchart.tgz is created.

I'm using isolinux as bootloader and this is my call to the script:

LABEL TinyCore 2.8.1
KERNEL /boot/bzImage
APPEND initrd=/boot/tc281mod.gz init=/sbin/ubootchartd quiet max_loop=255 vga=791

As I recon, the perl-renderer works only with an existing bootchart.tgz but since I've got none ... my question is: What am I doing wrong creating this tarball? Any suggestions from people who got bootchart working under TC? I would really appreciate any suggestions!

I do have ubootchart working, and have shared it with the team; however I don't think releasing it would do much good, as using it essentially requires a remaster.

Try "rdinit=" instead of "init=". This doesn't take into account the copying phase (which can be skipped with bootcode embed), but should be accurate otherwise.


There's one bootchart in the 2.8 release thread:
