Turned out to be a bad idea :( 11.3 won't boot now. I got bootchartd to run yesterday and got a chart, but today, my system isn't booting :( kernel panic and for whatever reason, it's because of bootchartd, which is strange, because I'm not running it as init. The only thing I can think of is some scripts have been changed and it wants to run at each boot.

After I installed bootchartd, I added a new entry in the menu.lst file (for grub), specifically so that I could choose to boot with bootchartd: =========== default boot entry =================== title Desktop -- openSUSE 11.3 - 2.6.34-12 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34-12-desktop \ root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST31000340AS_9QJ0MVTG-part1 \ resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6B300S0_B60SN5MH-part5 \ splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x346 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.6.34-12-desktop =========== BOOTCHARTD boot entry =================== title Desktop -- openSUSE 11.3 - 2.6.34-12 BOOTCHARTD kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34-12-desktop \ root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST31000340AS_9QJ0MVTG-part1 \ init=/sbin/bootchartd \ resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6B300S0_B60SN5MH-part5 \ splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x346 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.6.34-12-desktop -- "There are some micro-organisms that exhibit characteristics of both plants and animals.

Actually, my problem is not with the bootchartd entry, As I mentioned, I was able to boot the bootchartd option yesterday ... I have a bootchartd image file and .tgz in /var/log, as expected. My problem *now* is I can't boot the NON-bootchartd entry - the "default" grub entry ... also, I tried booting with "failsafe" and it also kernel-panics. title Desktop -- openSUSE 11.3 - 2.6.34-12 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34-12-desktop \ root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST31000340AS_9QJ0MVTG-part1 \ resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6B300S0_B60SN5MH-part5 \ splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x346 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.6.34-12-desktop In the screenshot, root is mounted, then the next line reads: /bin/run-init: //lib/bootchart: Directory not empty .... then the kernel panics. Which is confusing because I'm not attempting to boot the bootchartd option. -- Cleveland still lives. God ____must be dead. <<< Remove YOURSHOES to email me >>> |
