debian.org -> Documentation -> Debian Reference -> HTML
Look for console or messages:
8.6.8 Error messages on the console screen [1]
In order to quiet on-screen error messages, the first place to check is
/etc/init.d/klogd. Set KLOGD="-c 3" in this script and run /etc/init.d/klogd
restart. An alternative method is to run dmesg -n3.
I hope this is what you were looking for.
