Hi, Kevin - This gets me all the time. I think your system is working correctly. This is the log entry showing your system call: > Dec 29 11:24:40 kv kernel: [67479.245642] Hello world! And this is your actual output: > Dec 29 11:24:40 kv kernel: Hello world! If you reduce your log level you will lose the first message but not the second.
