[syslog-ng] io.c: do_read: read( ) failed (errno 1), Operation not permitted

I installed syslog-ng version 1.6.9 on Fedora Core 4 in a chroot jail and when starting it, I receive the following message "io.c: do_read: read( ) failed (errno 1), Operation not permitted". I believe this message is the result of syslog-ng not being able to read from /proc/kmsg. However, I'm a newbie to Linux and Sylog-ng! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
