I had this same problem until I realized that I had enabled kerneld support
in
my kernel, but had not loaded kerneld. - I added kerneld to the list of
daemons
loaded by rc.multi. (My rc.d directory is a mongrel of Slackware 3.0 and
scripts
from sysvinit sources)
Now syslogd loads and stays loaded in rc.inet2!
Hope this helps,
