I am writing a kernel module, and I want to be able to print something on the console output when loading it using insmod module.ko.
I tried using
printk(KERN_EMERG "test kernel emergency\n");
but nothing appears on my console. It does however appear in dmesg.
Extra info:
I am using an Intel x86 32 bit with linux-3.0.0
and cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk gives4 4 1 7
1- make sure you’re in full terminal mode( press Alt+Ctrl+f1)
2- instead of
printk(KERN_EMERG "test kernel emergency\n");try
printk(KERN_ALERT "test kernel alert\n");
