That didn't fix it, unfortunately.  Here's what /etc/init.d/klogd looks 
like:


#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/klogd: start the kernel log daemon.

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

pidfile=/var/run/klogd.pid
binpath=/sbin/klogd

test -f $binpath || exit 0

#  Use KLOGD="-k /boot/System.map-$(uname -r)" to specify System.map
#
# KLOGD=""
KLOGD="-c 4"

running()
{
   # No pidfile, probably no daemon present
   #
   if [ ! -f $pidfile ]
   then
       return 1
   fi

   pid=`cat $pidfile`

   # No pid, probably no daemon present
   #
   if [ -z "$pid" ]
   then
       return 1
   fi

   cmd=`cat /proc/$pid/cmdline | tr "\000" "\n"|head -1`

   # No syslogd?
   #
   if [ "$cmd" != "$binpath" ]
   then
       return 1
   fi

   return 0
}

case "$1" in
 start)
   echo -n "Starting kernel log daemon: klogd"
   start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $binpath -- $KLOGD
   echo "."
   ;;
 stop)
   echo -n "Stopping kernel log daemon: klogd"
   start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec $binpath --pidfile $pidfile
   echo "."
   ;;

   echo -n "Stopping kernel log daemon: klogd"
   start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec $binpath --pidfile $pidfile
   echo "."
   sleep 1
   echo -n "Starting kernel log daemon: klogd"
   start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $binpath --exec $binpath -- 
$KLOGD
   echo "."
   ;;

   if running
   then
       start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --signal 1 --exec $binpath 
--pidfile $pidfile
   else
       start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $binpath -- $KLOGD
