[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] base-files: remove the deluge of driver messages during bootup

[Michel Stam]

Early during bootup, kmodloader is started which loads the drivers
in /etc/modules.d. Unfortunately at this time the system script has
not run yet, which is supposed to set the console log level.
Having the S10system script moved to an earlier time is not an
option, as this in turn will not work because the system script
will try to register itself with ubusd, which is not running
either. This only happens after S12log is run.

As a quick fix, temporarily show only errors and more severe
messages. S10system will quickly fix that shortly after,
at least the bootup is more sane (and readable).
