Hi Linus, all, I configured my syslog to sort all kernel msgs to /var/log/syslog.N.debug|info|notice|warn|... (you got the idea) and made it spew everything on tty12, and warnings only to tty11. I got tired of seeing purely informative messages on tty11 every boot. They shouldn't be there. I'll spend some time looking thru the code and adding KERN_INFO where apprppriate. First such patch against 2.4.13 is attached. Feel free to flame me if I'm doing something wrong. -- vda
