Comment 4 for bug 401433

OK, so now my question is: Do you have a customized /etc/init.d/rsyslog? If not, does running the following commands as root give you a /var/run/rsyslog/kmsg?

  mkdir -p /var/run/rsyslog
  chown syslog:syslog /var/run/rsyslog
  mkfifo -m 600 /var/run/rsyslog/kmsg
  chown syslog:syslog /var/run/rsyslog/kmsg
  start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/rsyslog/kmsgpipe.pid --exec /bin/dd -b -m -- if=/proc/kmsg of=/var/run/rsyslog/kmsg
