I looked into this problem and I realized that the real cause is not the absence of /dev/kmsg but old codes in the connect_syslogd() function in syslog.cc. I removed these codes and confirmed that syslogd works again. I make a patch attached. Could you please have a look? -- Takashi Yano <takashi.y...@nifty.ne.jp>
