At the moment klogd en started en killed in initrd/linuxrc to flush the
kernel message buffer. This is my problem.
Now I need to unpack initrd, mount initrd, edit linuxrc, unmount and
pack initrd to comment out 2 lines.

Normaly is just use syslog-ng to read the kernel message buffer en write
the syslog to /var/log/message. This file start then with the boot log.
This works in Devil 1.2

There are some changes in the 2.6.25 kernel so it is prefers a differend
time source. I my case it resulted in a instable timesource. Searching
with google just gives to many useless hits. The solution is to add
clocksource=<name> to the linux boot options.

This build option give the following syslog messages:

racoon: alg_oakley_encdef_decrypt(3des klen=192 size=56): 0.000090
racoon: alg_oakley_hmacdef_one(hmac_sha1 size=36): 0.000057
racoon: alg_oakley_hmacdef_one(hmac_sha1 size=36): 0.000044
racoon: alg_oakley_encdef_encrypt(3des klen=192 size=64): 0.000061

It is nice to known how fast your hardware is.
But 11520 messages a day is............
