I searched Google and found an easy, if not temporary, fix. As root
type:
# dmesg -n 1
# man dmesg
NAME
dmesg - print or control the kernel ring buffer
SYNOPSIS
dmesg [ -c ] [ -n level ] [ -s bufsize ]
DESCRIPTION
dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer.
The program helps users to print out their bootup
messages. Instead of copying the
messages by hand, the user need only:
dmesg > boot.messages
and mail the boot.messages file to whoever can debug their
problem.
OPTIONS
-c Clear the ring buffer contents after printing.
-sbufsize
Use a buffer of size bufsize to query the kernel ring
buffer. This is 16392 by
default. (The default kernel syslog buffer size was
4096 at first, 8192 since
1.3.54, 16384 since 2.1.113.) If you have set the
kernel buffer to be larger
than the default then this option can be used to view
the entire buffer.
-nlevel
Set the level at which logging of messages is done
to the console. For exam
ple, -n 1 prevents all messages, expect panic
messages, from appearing on the
console. All levels of messages are still written to
/proc/kmsg, so syslogd(8)
can still be used to control exactly where kernel
messages appear. When the -n
option is used, dmesg will not print or clear the
kernel ring buffer.
When both options are used, only the last option on
the command line will have
an effect.
