Bug#568561: linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64: klogd doesn't receive kernel messages

[Phibo <mailists@phibo.org>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-21
Severity: important

Hello,

Since upgrade to the new point release 5.0.4 of lenny, kernel logging doesn't
work anymore. With the former kernel 2.6.26-19lenny2, it works. It must be 
related to either amd64 and/or xen kernels beside maybe others. On a i686 based
server, the problem does not exist.

I tried to start klogd with option -s without success. So neither reading from
/proc/kmsg nor the system call interface to the kernel message buffers enabled
klogd to print the kernel messages through syslogd. Funnly, with dmesg, all
kernel messages were displayed.


Cheers,
Phibo
