Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Although the previous release of the rsyslog packages replaced rklogd, a daemon that provided kernel logging, with a loadable module, it did not enable this functionality in the configuration. Consequent to this, rsyslog did not log the kernel messages at all. With this update, the /etc/rsyslog.conf configuration file has been corrected to include the "$ModLoad imklog" directive, and the kernel messages are now logged as expected.
