Yep. That happened to me too. Somebody, somewhere, sometime,
posted a solution that helped me to get it working back again.
All you need to do is to change the "source" line for the kernel
log in syslog-ng.conf:
source src { unix-dgram("/dev/log"); internal(); };
Needs to be changed to
source src {
internal();
unix-stream("/dev/log");
file("/proc/kmsg");
};
And kill HUP syslog-ng (or restart it, whatever). And that's it.

Nop. Don't know. Notice, however, that it changes from a dgram to
a stream socket type. Perhaps the reason is there:
From syslog-ng.conf:
* unix-dgram <filename> - reads messages from the given
AF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM socket (BSDi style)
* unix-stream <filename> - reads messages from the given
AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM socket (Linux style)
Anyway, it should work. Hope this helps.
