Riccardo, I added /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/bootchart2 as per #603656, and ran update-initramfs -ukall.
With init=/sbin/bootchartd, the system boots normally. When I add rdinit=/sbin/bootchartd, it hangs at the kernel message "switched to clocksource tsc". The keyboard isn't working so I can't investigate further. I'm PXE booting a wheezy image using live-initramfs-tools 3.0.1-1 and bootchart2 0.14.4-3. root@spoon:~# cat /srv/tftp/pxelinux.cfg/01-00-e0-4c-a6-1a-a9 PROMPT 0 NOESCAPE 1 LABEL linux IPAPPEND 2 KERNEL images/tvserver-twb/vmlinuz APPEND initrd=images/tvserver-twb/initrd.img boot=live noprompt noeject netboot=nfs nfsroot=/srv/netboot/images live-media-path=tvserver-twb break single init=/sbin/bootchartd rdinit=/sbin/bootchartd root@spoon:~# file /srv/tftp/images/tvserver-twb/vmlinuz /srv/tftp/images/tvserver-twb/vmlinuz: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 3.12-0.bpo.1-amd64 (debian-kern, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA root@spoon:~# xzcat /srv/tftp/images/tvserver-twb/initrd.img | cpio -t | grep -e bash -e bootchart sbin/bootchartd lib/bootchart lib/bootchart/tmpfs lib/bootchart/bootchart-collector 113363 blocks etc/bootchartd.conf bin/bash And suggestions about what to try next?
