klogd only handles some architectures. klogd only knows about some messages for the architectures it does handle. klogd does not verify that it was passed the correct System.map. klogd does not always know about loaded modules. Even when klogd knows about loaded modules, it does not use the __insmod symbols to correctly map the modules. I could go on but you get the idea.
