When klogd is invoked from my /etc/rd.d/boot script, (klogd -s -o -n -f /var/log/boot.msg) it won't finish executing. My boot script won't finish untill I hit ctrl-c. By placing echos in /etc/rc.d/boot I have isolated the problem to that particular line. When I login, /var/log/boot.msg has been updated. It seems as if klogd, can't close the file. BTW this all began after a kernel upgrade from 2.4.0 to 2.4.2. Any thoughts as to what may be causing this?
