I take that back. Are you sure klogd is running and correctly started?

As you can see that is a reasonably (though some patches out-of-date)
recent Red Hat Enterprise Linux (cq CentOS) 5.4 kernel (current version
is 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 - note the higher number after the 164).
The .el5 means Enterprise Linux 5 version, the numbers between the -
and that are the Red Hat internal revision/build numbers.

That one _is_ still a 2.6.18 kernel, but with lots of security and
bugfix patches BACKported from higher versioned (newer) kernel releases,
so its source doesn't have too much to do anymore with a plain vanilla
2.6.18 kernel (or any higher version) anymore.

BINGO!
Thanks much buck, that was the problem exactly.

support at host provider gave me that solution just a bit before
you did. klogd (and SMP) startup was commented out of rc.syslog ....
dunno why. I assume now that my rc.syslog was not vanilla -12.2
as I thought, and no vanilla -12.2 here to compare against.
So I still wonder why. But it's working now.

Thanks!
