if your not using X, alt-F1 etc will do.
have you tried mesg n ?
or setterm
-msg [on|off] (virtual consoles only) Enables or disables the sending of
kernel printk() messages to the console.
-msglevel 1-8 (virtual consoles only)
Sets the console logging level for kernel printk() messages. All messages
strictly more important than this will be printed, so a logging level of 0 has
the same effect as -msg on and a logging level of 8 will print all kernel
messages. klogd(8) may be a more convenient interface to the logging of
kernel messages.
