Hello,
I've installed bootchard and followed the instructions in the archwiki specifically where it says
Open up /boot/grub/menu.lst, and copy/paste the entry you want to log. Append "init=/sbin/bootchartd"
I did that and now the computer wont boot correctly. I get an error that sbin/bootchard was not found and that i'm on my own now? What am I'm supposed to do? I'm now using the Ubuntu LiveCD to post this.
EDIT: I've copied the actual error down and this is what it says.
Error: root revice mounted successfully, but sbin/bootchard does not exist. Bailing out, you are on your own, good luck .

Use the Ubuntu Live CD to mount your Arch partition and remove that line.

When the Grub menu is up, instead of pressing "enter" to select the entry press "e". This will let you edit the entry. Then you need to select which line you want to edit with the arrow keys, press "e" again and delete the bootchart part. Press "enter" when done and "b" to boot.
The changes aren't permanent so you'll need to change the menu.lst file after boot.

Do as Varg said and you should be fine.
Your boot kernel entry should look something like this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb1 ro init=/sbin/bootchartd
Since bootchartd is not something you don't normally want to run on every boot, you might want to create a separate entry for it like so:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb1 ro fastboot logo.nologo quiet ipv6.disable=1
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
# (1) Bootchart
title Arch Linux Bootchart
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb1 ro fastboot logo.nologo quiet ipv6.disable=1 init=/sbin/bootchartd
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
Lose "fastboot logo.nologo quiet ipv6.disable=1" if you don't want these options and make sure that "root" is set correctly for your system.

Thanks everyone, I removed that line and now it works fine.
