They look like system console messages. They should be handled by
syslogd/klogd, not displayed on the console. Double check that
syslog is running. (service syslog status)If it is running, you may
want to take a look at /etc/syslog.conf - you should only have one
line that just has * in the right column.

# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg                                                     *
