Add the kernel option "quiet" to your kernel entries in grub.conf so
only errors and warnings are displayed. Seems to me like this should be
the default (at least on Fedora Core).
For example, here's an entry in my grub.conf:
title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2129.nptl)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl.img
A few kernel modules still don't strictly obey it but they are very
brief and to the point in quiet mode. I also think /etc/rc.sysinit
could be much less verbose when booting with quiet. Overall, quiet
makes the bootup much nicer. And if a problem occurs you have time to
notice and read the message.
