Hello, telling from the process table there are no other logd's (see below). But i have to admit that i do not know how to check for the "/proc/kmsg" sources you mention. i haven't been into logging like this before :-) however, removing the file("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: ")); from the source has fixed the hanging problem. but why? i certainly don't want to miss any messages... thanks & regards, heiko root 1 0 0 00:22 ? 00:00:04 init [2] root 2 1 0 00:22 ? 00:00:00 [keventd] root 3 1 0 00:22 ? 00:00:00 [ksoftirqd_CPU0] root 4 1 0 00:22 ? 00:00:00 [kswapd] root 5 1 0 00:22 ? 00:00:00 [bdflush] root 6 1 0 00:22 ? 00:00:00 [kupdated] root 12 1 0 00:22 ? 00:00:00 [khubd] root 688 1 0 00:23 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd root 1065 1 0 00:23 ? 00:00:00 /opt/fcron/sbin/fcron -b root 1072 1 0 00:23 tty1 00:00:00 -bash root 1073 1 0 00:23 tty2 00:00:00 /sbin/getty 115200 tty2 root 1074 1 0 00:23 tty3 00:00:00 /sbin/getty 115200 tty3 root 1075 1 0 00:23 tty4 00:00:00 /sbin/getty 115200 tty4 root 1103 688 0 00:24 ? 00:00:00 sshd: nx [priv] root 1124 688 0 00:24 ? 00:00:00 sshd: dsl [priv] root 1279 1276 0 00:24 ttyp0 00:00:00 bash nobody 1294 1 0 12:46 ? 00:00:00 /opt/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng --cfgfile=/opt/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf --chroot=/data/var/log --user=65534 --group=65534

Hello,
i try to run syslog-ng 2.0.0 compiled with eventlog-0.25 and glib-2.12.4 on damnsmalllinux 3.0.1 (knoppix variant based on linux 2.4.26).
It is started in a script like this which is called from bootlocal.sh
sudo /opt/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng \ --cfgfile=/opt/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf \ --chroot=/data/var/log \ --user=65534 \ --group=65534
unfortunately it will hang causing mischief, like programs blocking on it, so the boot script does not complete and no login is possible at all. it can only be killed with "-9".
You don't have two /proc/kmsg sources or klogd and syslog-ng running in parallel, do you?
