Probably you will get your logs back if you restart klogd, instead of rebooting. I have the same problem with syslog-ng as a syslogd replacement. Bugreport was done but it seems the situation is unclear. The bug comes from either klogd or syslog-ng (I don't know, I do suspect klogd, especially if you have the same problem using syslogd). As a (dirty) turnaround, I added some "klogd restart" stuff into my syslog-ng init scripts.
