Probably you will get your logs back if you restart klogd, instead
of rebooting. I have the same problem with syslog-ng as a syslogd
replacement.
Bugreport was done but it seems the situation is unclear. The bug
comes from either klogd or syslog-ng (I don't know, I do suspect
klogd, especially if you have the same problem using syslogd).
As a (dirty) turnaround, I added some "klogd restart" stuff into my
syslog-ng init scripts.
