First: make sure there is a System.map file that klogd can find. It needs
to be in / /boot or /usr/src/linux and one of them needs to match the
current (booting) kernel version. I copy the one that ends up in
/usr/src/linux after compiling to /boot/System.map-2.n.nn and then do
ln -s /boot/System.map-`uname -r` /System.map in one of the startup
scripts.
Second: Check that your klogd is new enough. I believe klogd-1.3 has a
minor patch available to make it work on kernels > 2.0.0
I installed sysklogd-1.3-9.i386.rpm as I'm running RedHat, and
that works...
I'll write this up for the changes file and send it to Chris Ricker....
Cheers,
Peter
