Got it! The value of "KERNEL_LOGLEVEL" in /etc/sysconfig/syslog was set to 1 (the default value). Setting this to 7 solved the problem. This can be done either by manually editing the file (and running SuSEconfig afterwards) or using YAST2 -> system -> editor for /etc/sysconfig files -> System -> Logging -> KERNEL_LOGLEVEL. Now my console is pretty chatty... Thanks! Winfried -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
