If you look at the file /etc/syslog.conf (on RedHat Linux, at least) 
there is an entry that reads:

kern.*                            /dev/console

The line above is saying "Kernel.*(any) messages redirect to 
/dev/console".  Put the # in front of it to comment it out, so it looks 
like this:

# kern.*                            /dev/console

This might work.
