How to test?

1) update your machine to latest rawhide
   tip: yum-skipbroken may come in handy in case there are broken deps
   yum --skipbroken update

2) install bootchart
   yum install bootchart

3) Make sure the kernel you're about to boot has init set to bootchart.
   Open /boot/grub/menu.lst and check there's init=/sbin/bootchartd on the kernel command line

4) Reboot

5) Run bootchart on the command line which should create an output image - bootchart.svn

6) If you already haven't done so, upload your hardware profile, either via smoltSendProfile or smoltGui for GUI.
   
7) Upload your bootchart along with your link to your profile. Where? TBD

Booting with specific services - TBD
