That's exactly when the built-in initcalls are finished. And as a result, the graph produced with dmesg always finishes at this point. If you try to generate a graph whithout this limitation, you will not be able to see something interesting because the script will not find a lot of initcalls with a long enough time proportion against the total boot time. Perhaps it can be improved in that way but unfortunately I don't know any word in Perl.... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
