Kernel whispers instead of being quiet

When I give the 'quiet' option to the kernel via my GRUB configuration, I will still see the last kernel trace on my screen. Is it a kernel bug or what exactly going on?

No one else seeing the last kernel trace line when passing the 'quiet' option?

This may be actually an error message. Kernel messages whose level is equal or above the "warning" level always show up at boot, even with the "quiet" option enabled.

The message is about "dca service started" which doesn't sound like some kind of error. In fact, on other systems/kernels I run, the one line that appears is some other non-error message (don't know by heart).

I think I saw something in the menuconfig in "kernel hacking" about producing output...
If you disable everything but magic key, it still produces output but only on errors.
