I still advice you to use minilogd patch as well. It prevents you from
loosing boot messages up to the point syslog is started. The second you need
to do - make devfsd ignore /dev/log and remove it from any dev backing store
you have (if any). This will trigger minilogd exit as well so at least some
of the messages (up to devfsd start) go lost.

yeah, same here.

Pavel did all the work. I just put two ends together. With stack trace
problem became obvious.
