I will explain:
1. I have compiled kernel with LOG level 7.
2. You have mentioned to run with "log_buf_len=10M ignore_loglevel".
When I ran, the Error messages started splashing continuously, I
waited for 5 mins and tried to switch modes using Ctrl+alt+F1, no use.
3. The one I attached dmesg is only log_buf_len=500M (no ignore_loglevel).
