I recently got a similar report[1], but didn't get enough information to get to the bottom of this (and I don't have access to a dash-based system). Basically, bootchartd runs fine on dash when profiling a running system. So this might not be a bashism problem, but something about the peculiar environment of a booting system. Not being able to write to /dev/null could imply a timing problem. Could you please try adding the following to /sbin/bootchartd, at the start of the start() function (line 41): while [ ! -w /dev/null ]; do sleep $SAMPLE_PERIOD; done Does this help?
