What Oracle version, because on 8.1.7 is does... and I'm pretty sure it's the same for 9.2.
I think it is same from Oracle 7 to 9i.
You may be missing something, make sure you are editing the correct init.ora file.

hi,
it is 8.1.7...
Wht does this parameter specify...log_buffer
and why this value shoud be a multiple of 512k...
LOG_BUFFER specifies the amount of memory, in bytes, that Oracle uses when buffering redo entries to a redo log file. Redo log entries contain a record of the changes that have been made to the database block buffers. The LGWR process writes redo log entries from the log buffer to a redo log file.
In general, larger values for LOG_BUFFER reduce redo log file I/O, particularly if transactions are long or numerous.
If the 'redo log space requests' statistic in V$SYSSTAT is non-zero, you should increase LOG BUFFER.
SELECT name, value
FROM V$SYSSTAT where name ='redo log space requests';
A good starting point for the log_buffer is 64K, there is generally no advantage in making the log_buffer larger than 1 Mb.
VALUE: Maximum is 512 KB or 128 KB * CPU_COUNT, whichever is greater.

I don't know why its not effecting your log buffer size..the only parameter is LOG_BUFFER and be sure to edit the correct init.ora file.
if you are using 9.2 and your database creation is all by default then most probably is you are using spfile so editing init.ora is not enough
