Your ps output shows that klogd isn't running. This means none of the kernel messages will make it to syslog.
do "ps aux | grep logd" and kill the dd process and then run "/etc/init.d/klogd start", then rerun "ps aux | grep logd" to make sure klogd and syslogd are running. If they are try profiling something and see if the messages show up in any of the log file /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/kern.log
This should fixes the problem temporarily but we still need to find out why your klogd is not starting or dying on boot.
