Got it! The value of "KERNEL_LOGLEVEL" in /etc/sysconfig/syslog was set to 1 (the default value). Setting this to 7 solved the problem.
This can be done either by manually editing the file (and running SuSEconfig afterwards) or using YAST2 -> system -> editor for /etc/sysconfig files -> System -> Logging -> KERNEL_LOGLEVEL.
Now my console is pretty chatty...
Thanks! Winfried
Suse set the kernel log level when starting the klogd daemon. I would prefer that klogd not modify the log log level. If a change is to be made to the default log level, why not make the change in sysctl.conf?
adding KERNEL_LOGLEVEL = "7" to /etc/sysctl.conf does not work for me (openSuSE 10.2) - this line seems to be simply ignored. The value in /etc/sysconfig/syslog gets used, and if it's commented out the default value of 1 is used. A value of "5" turned out to be "chatty enough" for the sysctl message bodies. Why do you think setting KERNEL_LOGLEVEL in /etc/sysconfig/syslog is evil? I think tuning the system is the purpose of /etc/sysconfig/* files?
