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
