The feature had been broken for while, IIRC including the alpha 3 release.
So if you're still testing with that one, that would explain it. With a
recent revision the feature should work though (at least it does on my
machines). I seem to recall a report that it still doesn't on some hardware,
for which I don't have an explanation ATM.

That is a known issue. Disabling SMP might help. Since you get to KDL
anyway, using the "syslog" command yields better results, though.
