---- quoting the patch-2.0.19 ----
+
+Kernel messages
+===============
+
+ Kernel messages without a specific log level use the kernel's
+default log level. In 1.2 kernels, the default log level was 6
+(information), while in 2.0.x kernels it is 4 (warning). Adjust your
+configuration of syslogd appropriately (or edit printk.c in the kernel
+source ;-).
---- end ---
Instead of editing printk.c it would make much more sense to edit the
printk statements without a priority, or with the wrong one. E.g. the
aic7xxx debugging messages are emitted as default priority.
Just a hint
