Debugging

[Lares Moreau]

OKay this is a noobie question,

I have all the kernel debugging options turned.  Now how do I change the
kernel logging level from prompt?  Or do I?

I have 'loglevel=7' appended to my kernel line in grub.  Is that all I
need or is there more to it?

Worry not I have syslog-ng setup properly

'loglevel=7' should be sufficient, except that I have seen some
distro's init scripts change it during bootup, so just be aware
of that (or search for it).

I usually use loglevel or 8 or 9 (via alt-sysrq-N).  According to
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt:
loglevel=	All Kernel Messages with a loglevel smaller than the
		console loglevel will be printed to the console.
so using a value of 7 would omit KERN_DEBUG messages.
		7 (KERN_DEBUG)		debug-level messages
