Hi,
I wander what happens it the klog-daemon do not work. Will the kernel log 
messages stored somewere in the kernel-memory, or are they discarded?
Is it posible that, after a amount of time the kernel crash, bescause of that?

I could not find anything about this in the manpage of klogd or in the kernel 
documentation.

Thanks for your help

Nothing. Messages just do not get logged.

Unlikely, because it would require a kernel crash in a place that would 
very likely bring the whole system down (procfs, sockfs).
