software watchdog

Hi all,

I am using software watchdog in my application.  When the watchdog reboots the
system,

>>>printk(KERN_CRIT "SOFTDOG: Initiating system reboot.\n"); prints the message
on the console.

I put a delay of 5secs with mdelay, and I can see the message on the console.
I wanted the message as a syslog,

so I added         kern.crit in /etc/syslog.conf file.,
But I am not getting the above message in the log file.
Can any one help me with this ????

Thanks
Girish
