Created attachment 1128555 [details] bootchart from Fedora-Live-KDE-x86_64-rawhide-20160218.iso Description of problem: I noticed this on F22 but it's still a problem on latest rawhide with the very latest systemd. When I put init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bootchart then look in /run/log, I see that it starts charting activity at around the time the initrd switch-root's to the real root and ends a second later. bootchart.conf is not changed from the default so it should show 20 seconds of activity. Notes: * F24 rawhide is tested with Fedora-Live-KDE-x86_64-rawhide-20160218.iso booted in a VM and with "init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bootchart" added at the bootloader screen. * "systemd-nspawn -D /path/to/directory /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bootchart" does produce a bootchart that runs the full 20 seconds. I haven't yet tried booting a real system without an initrd, but this looks like a smoking gun to me. * enabling systemd-bootchart.service does work as it runs for 20 seconds and starting with sysinit.target is early enough for my purposes. But that's obviously not true for every use case. * systemd-analyze doesn't report initrd time when init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bootchart, it just adds it to kernel time. * This could be related to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/656 but the svg isn't structurally truncated, just shows less data than expected.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase
I have a similar issue, and I think I've found the reason: it is probably because your RTC is in local time rather than UTC (or something like this!). Check your 'journalctl -b' logs, you'll probably see that the clock suddenly changes when initrd is finished...
OK, I was wrong. Even when my RTC is in UTC, bootchart doesn't generate correct output. Also, when systemd-bootchart is used as init, I see to failed units during initramfs bootup: systemd-journald-audit.socket & systemd-journald-dev-log.socket.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
