You can control this by setting:

/proc/sys/kernel/printk

My system has this set to 3 4 1 7 and I had to read the manual (manpages 
proc and syslog) to know what that means.  I think that it is the first 
number that you need to change.  A lower number means less messages.

You can see what your system is currently set at with (as root):

cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk

and then set it with:

echo "3 4 1 7" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

To permanently change this, edit:

/etc/sysctl.conf
