If you run a kernel with procfs (e.g. a "normal" Debian kernel) you can
do
echo "4 4 1 7" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
to stop low-level messages on the console. If you want this setting to
be applied at boot time you can add the following line to
/etc/sysctl.conf:
kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7
(This line is already present on Etch and Sid and just has to be
uncommented if desired.)
Another possibility is to edit /etc/init.d/klogd and change the line
KLOGD=""
to
KLOGD="-c 4"
and then to restart klogd. (This change can be overwritten when the
klogd package is upgraded.)
