How can I stop kernel messages appearing on the console or at least redirect them somewhere else? They're already going to syslog, so I dont need to see the stuff on the screen.
It's having two undesirable effects: 1) During bootup, init script messages and kernel messages are intertwined. eg. "Starting <service>: <kernel message ...> done" (over multiple lines). This makes it more difficult to see what has actually happened. I think most of this is due to auto-module loading, so I could get around most of it by putting those modules in /etc/modules. 2) When using the console, messages interrupt what I'm going, particularly the iptables messages (having an always-on connection means I drop my fair share of packets - all logged). What I would like is for all kernel messages to go to /dev/tty1. I'd then like init to start on tty2. No getty would start on tty1 - it would be left for kernel messages. gettys would run on tty2-6. I've tried setting the kernel command parameter "console=...", but it seems the vt code in the kernel overrides this and sets the console to be whatever vt you're currently on. I have no idea how to get init to run on tty2 (vt code is compiled into the kernel, so tty2 should be available to init when it starts).
