I don't recognise those lines, but can offer some general logging advice. To reduce the amount of data which flows into the logfiles, you can tap it at either source (kernel) or sink (syslog). As the latter is going to be much easier, I suggest you change your /etc/syslog.conf to increase the severity level of the kern facility. e.g. [possibly other sources;]kern.err -/var/log/messages The leading minus tells syslogd not to sync the file to disk after every write. kern.err is just a guess, as I don't know at which severity those lines are being logged.
