Looking at that, I see:

# Use KLOGD="-k /boot/System.map-$(uname -r)" to specify System.map
# -c 4 to alter the kernel console log level (deprecated)
#   use sysctl instead
#

So I looked at /etc/sysctl.conf and found:


 # Uncomment the following to stop low-level messages on console
 kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7


I suppose this will do what is wanted. Mine is uncommented, which is
presmuably why I am not getting these unwanted effects.
