[SOLVED] Syslog output flooding tty1

lasersquid · 2011-08-05 04:38:34

I recently installed a new guest OS on Virtualbox and added a USB automount udev rule. After restarting, tty1 was flooded with syslog, even as I tried to log in. There don't seem to be any stray entries in syslog-ng.conf, and I removed the udev rule as soon as I noticed the problem. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Maybe this is a solution:

maybe because VERBOSE is no longer supported in rc.conf. See if you have a quiet parameter on your kernel line in grub/menu.lst. If not, add one and see if the error messages disappear.

add "verbose" param int menu.lst? in which line of text?

No. Read again. You need to add "quiet" without the quotes obviously to your kernel line.

Adding quiet to my kernel line worked, though I kind of liked seeing the status messages during startup. Thanks, Inxsible.
