I am going to regret answering this, because it is not the right place
for such questions. However...
I suspect you are misusing printk and the KERN_XXX prefixes (KERN_DEBUG,
KERN_ERR, KERN_INFO, etc.) defined in include/linux/kernel.h. Try
dropping the comma between the prefix and the message. That is:
printk(KERN_INFO "Hello World!\n");
rather than:
printk(KERN_INFO, "Hello World!\n");
I leave it an exercise for a for the reader to figure out what the
difference is.
Cheers,
Michael
