This makes the kernel output messages pertaining to errors only as I understand it (which does what i want, but i bet there is a better way to do it, I'm reading through my drivers documentation atm) man 2 syslog details the different log levels. I don't get warnings from my NIC driver (e1000 btw) anymore, but I think this means I don't get any warnings now. root:/# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk 4 4 1 7 I have put "kernel.printk=3" in my /etc/sysctl.conf file, but this "psuedo" file doesn't seem to show the change which I find odd. And if the printk() function takes these four arguments, what does kernel.printk=3 do? Set them all to 3? I no longer have the problem, so thank you DJ Lucas. But after reading the manual pages and the linux-2.6.27.4/Documentation/sysct/kernel.txt file, I'm left with more questions :( Thank you for your time. -- Charlie Turner -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
