Hi guys,
thanks for the feedback. This is now the second try of my disable printk
patch.
First i moved the option for disabling the prinbtk messages form the menu
character devices to kernel hacking.
Second, i had change the macro so it calls now a inline funciton
printk_inline which always return 0. So it should be now compatibel to the
standard printk funciton.
I hope you like the patch...
Greetings,
Stefani
-----patch for 2.4.0 disable printk-----

+Disable kernel messages
+CONFIG_PRINTK
+ This option allows you to disable all kernel messages by overriding
+ the printk function with an empty macro.
+ On small embedded systems, this save a lot of rom and ram space. On
+ server or desktop systems you want human readable outputs, so it is
+ normally the best choice to say N to this option.
