Well, the stuff goes to the logs and not the console because of the console log level. You can change that using proc, too. Look in /proc/sys/kernel/printk (well, at least under 2.4.x). You'll see four numbers. The first one is the console loglevel. Any message directed to syslog with a priority higher than this number will be printed in the console. Otherwise they won't.
The second number is the default message level. Any message without a priority will get this priority.
The third number is the highest value you can assign to the first number (the console loglevel).
The fourth number is the default value for the first number.
The interesting number for you is the first one. Set it to a correct value for you (see syslog(2) to see what the numbers mean).
