Debian-reference: http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s8.6.8 <quote> 8.6.8 Error messages on the console screen In order to quiet on-screen error messages, the first place to check is /etc/init.d/klogd. Set KLOGD="-c 3" in this script and run /etc/init.d/klogd restart. An alternative method is to run dmesg -n3. Here error levels mean: * 0: KERN_EMERG, system is unusable * 1: KERN_ALERT, action must be taken immediately * 2: KERN_CRIT, critical conditions * 3: KERN_ERR, error conditions * 4: KERN_WARNING, warning conditions * 5: KERN_NOTICE, normal but significant condition * 6: KERN_INFO, informational * 7: KERN_DEBUG, debug-level messages If one particular useless error message bothers you a lot, consider making a trivial kernel patch like shutup-abit-bp6 (available in the examples subdirectory). Another place to look may be /etc/syslog.conf; check to see whether any messages are logged to a console device. </quote> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
