Bootchart provides a shell script to be run by the kernel in the init phase.
The script will run in background and collect process information, CPU
statistics and disk usage statistics from the /proc file system.
The performance data are stored in memory and are written to disk once the
boot process completes.
The boot log file is later processed using a Java application which builds
the process tree and renders a performance chart in different formats (png,
svg, eps).
This requires apache-ant, and you need the jdk package from /extra installed.
After installation, to run bootchartd append the following boot option:
init=/sbin/bootchartd
You may want to edit your lilo configuration file. Also note that this will
not work if run from a kernel using an initrd - you must use one of the
huge* kernels (or a custom kernel).
