As stated here: http://elinux.org/Debugging_by_printing pr_debug is replaced with an empty statement unless the kernel is compiled with DEBUG. So if you just want to play with printing kernel debug logs, just define the DEBUG macro in your module source file for testing. I also observed that without a new line character at the end of the string passed to pr_debug, I could not find the log line in dmesg output. Not sure where this comes from. -- Thibaut SAUTEREAU
