i think these error messages are printed by the klogd. 

$ man klogd
	[...]
	-c n   Sets the default log level of console messages to n.
	[...]
	The  klogd  daemon also allows the ability to alter the presentation of
	kernel messages to the system console.  Consequent with the prioritiza-
	tion  of  kernel messages was the inclusion of default messaging levels
	for the kernel.  In a stock kernel the the default console log level is
	set  to 7.  Any messages with a priority level numerically lower than 7
	(higher priority) appear on the console.

	Messages of priority level 7 are considered to be 'debug' messages  and
	will thus not appear on the console.  Many administrators, particularly
	in a multi-user environment, prefer that all kernel messages be handled
	by  klogd and either directed to a file or to the syslogd daemon.  This
	prevents 'nuisance' messages such as line printer out of paper or  disk
	change detected from cluttering the console.
	[...]

try to increase the loglevel.
