When I logged into the remote graphical console, I was greeted with constant, unremitting spam from the kernel log! I wasn’t able to log in because the screen would clear instantly when I started typing.\n\nThis calls for the Magic SysRq key! A simple press of Alt+SysRq+0 to set the console log level to 0 silenced all of the log spam and let me log in and get the server back on its feet.\n\nAll hail Magic SysRq!",
