Yup both are running.

$ echo 8 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/printk


Tried that.. still nothing :-(

You should ensure that your kernel object was properly modified.

I checked the sum's and they are different before and after.. I just cant
figure out where its getting the source from, cuz i even altered the message
its currently printing and rebuilt it, but it still prints the old message!
Clearly its getting the source from somewhere, but if not for the folder
/lib/modules/kernel-version/debug/fs/nfs which is a soft link to the
/usr/usr/linux which is a soft link to the source where is it getting it
from?
