Dear Debian Eee PC folks,

following an article about Boot Tracer and Bootchart in the current
issue of the German Linux Magazin 9/2012 [1], on my Eee PC 701 4G I
captured the output of Boot Tracer [2]. Just add

    initcall_debug printk.time=1

to the Linux command line by editing for example `/etc/default/grub` and
run `sudo update-grub` afterward.

It looks like the default Debian Linux kernel still contains routines to
initialize the ISA subsystem.

If I am not mistaken, such devices are not supported by all Eee PC
systems and therefore the option `noisapnp` should be safely added to
the Linux kernel command line.

I attach three SVG files as an example.


Thanks,

Paul


PS: As some of your remember there was a thread some years ago that
booted an Eee PC in five seconds. Although it might be that the custom
built Linux kernel image already did *not* include the ISA stuff.
