Hi, The place where the messages are printed depends on the level at which you execute the printk message which is the first char in the string supplied to printk. For more info look up Linux Device Drivers by rubini (available online). Further if you are running x-windows then I have observed that the messages are appended to the end of /var/log/messages file irrespective of print-level. You can check the file for the messages you were expecting on your console. Bye, Pradeep On Fri, 14 Dec 2001, utku ozturk wrote: > I am using Redhat 7.1 2-4-2. I add a new system call.
