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.
