You can temporarily disable kernel messages being logged to the
console by editing /etc/syslog.conf, and changing the entry that
refers to /dev/console:
*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console
^^^^^
Change this to 'none', i.e.:
*.err;kern.none;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console
Then, kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`
(Don't forget to change it back after you get through troubleshooting)
