Re: LSM skeleton module printk message not showing in dmesg

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Mosta,

Thanks for the prompt reply, I added the same printk message in the other kernel files like here /usr/src/linux-2.6.33.3/init/calibrate.c

       int lps_precision = LPS_PREC;
       printk("*** Just testing prinkt to work ***\n");
       static bool printed;

and recompiled the kernel and its showing in the dmesg. Is this means kernel logger is fine?

also can please verify the steps i made to make lsm module just for pirnkt message.

Regards

you have to check at what level you're kernel logger is and set it to
the according level.
