I've planed an update of the package for a long time, but I'm too busy. I
had a crash of my iBook and trouble to get a connection to the internet.

Yes, I know this. But, IIRC, they did kill and start a new bootchart when
it comes to the switch form the initrd to the root fs. Twelve month ago,
I've commited a suggestion how it can be done better, but neigther Ziga
nor someone else ever gave a comment about it. Maybe, it's better to
package this version and wait for bug reports. ;-)

It should become closed. :) These bugs in the bootchart daemon are really
difficult to debug. The “return: 24: Illegal number:” sounds like a
problem of bootchart, but it should not lock the system nor HAL nor can
the PATH=, DAEMON= and PIDDIR= lines come from bootchart. I have to take
a look at the code, but I doubt there's anything I can do.

Maybe on the upcoming weekend, I have time to take care for bootchart and
find out why svn407-4 stuck in the RFS queue

Bye, Jörg.
