The printk declaration in kernel.h is protected by a #ifdef __KERNEL__, and if you don't define that symbol at compile time, the printk declaration won't get pulled in at compile time and the compiler yells at you. But you knew that, right :-). It's just a bad old typo. Hope this helps :-) Regards, Karthik. -- There are things known and things unknown, in between lie the Doors -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
