Does Syslog get wiped out each time a host is rebooted?

I guess we've been fortunate and haven't had to pull logs for Vmware tickets in a while.  We had an issue over the weekend where we had to hard boot hosts to resolve.  Afterwards, we pulled logs for a vendor to look at but, they only went back to the reboot.

It's been a while but, I seem to recall the syslogs just overwriting based on how much space was available regardless of reboots.  Has that changed?  

One thing that we have changed is booting our hosts from SD cards rather than local disk or SAN.  Could this make a difference?
