Peter, before I do this, let me just verify that my kernel is set up 
right. I checked for dynamic printk and I am not clear that I have the 
setting needed. Here is what my .config tells me for dynamic and printk 
separately.

 > cat .config | grep DYNAMIC
CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC=y
CONFIG_DVB_DYNAMIC_MINORS=y
CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS=y
# CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is not set
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y

 > cat .config | grep PRINTK
CONFIG_PRINTK=y
CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK=y
CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y
# CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY is not set
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP=y

Could you confirm that I am ok to go?
