The kernel header file .../include/linux/kernel.h defines the different
printk log levels, from KERN_EMERG ("<0>") to KERN_DEBUG ("<7>").

If a printk statement does not specify a loglevel, the value
DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL is used, defined in .../kernel/printk.c.

The variable console_loglevel controls what printk messages are displayed
on the system console, this is initialized by DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL,
which on our system is 7.  This means that any printk message with a lower
loglevel than KERN_DEBUG is displayed on the system console.

Enough theory?
Now for the practical.  The klogd daemon, if started with -c parameter
sets the console_loglevel.  Do a process list and see what parameters klogd
started with.  You can restart the daemon with a different -c parameter.

An easier way to change what printk messages appear on your console is
to use /proc/sys/kernel/printk.

echo 8 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk  # all messages appear on console
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk  # only KERN_EMERG messages appear

Regardless of what appears on the console, all of the messages appear
in /var/log/messages if both klogd and syslogd are running.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
T.mike
