kernel messages to virtual console instead of to log file/etc.

["Daniel B." <dsb@smart.net>]

Although I have /etc/syslog.conf set up to send most messages elsewhere,
I still get messages like:

  EXT2-fs: Unrecognized mount option bs

and

  EXT2-fs: blocksize too small for device.

dumped directly to the current virtual console (when I'm in a text 
console).

(This is on woody with kernel 2.4.18.)


How do I find out which syslog facility code or severity level those
messages use (to check my /etc/syslog.conf)?

Or are those messages reported wrong in the kernal (so they can't be 
controlled by the syslog configuration)?


My only syslog.conf entries that don't write to log files are:


*.emerg                         *

daemon,mail.*;\
        news.=crit;news.=err;news.=notice;\
        *.=debug;*.=info;\
        *.=notice;*.=warn       /dev/tty8

daemon.*;mail.*;\
        news.crit;news.err;news.notice;\
        *.=debug;*.=info;\
        *.=notice;*.=warn       |/dev/xconsole





Thanks,
Daniel
