Kernel spitting out debug info.


Hello.

My LFS distro has been spitting out excess debug info when drives are plugged in, or networks have been established. It also complains of something like this:

x has reached max kernel stack

or something similar. What option do I have to toggle to make this go away, it's very annoying.

Hi,

The klogd daemon is responsible. You can change which level of messages are send to the console by changing its default (=> send all messages to the console)

Have a look at this file: /etc/rc.d/init.d/sysklogd and look for this line: loadproc klogd. Edit it to look like this: loadproc klogd -c 3 and restart the sysklogd daemon (/etc/rc.d/init.d/sysklogd restart).

This setting (-c 3) will make sure that only the most important messages are sent to the console (messages you should not ignore if they are shown!!).

Have a look at the klogd manpage for all the details.

I cannot advise you on this: x has reached max kernel stack (we need the exact message). If it still shows up after you made the above changes it is probably something you have to investigate further.

Hope this helps.
