Hello Wenda,
I encountered the same issue a while ago.
As stated here: http://elinux.org/Debugging_by_printing
pr_debug is replaced with an empty statement unless the kernel is compiled
with DEBUG. So if you just want to play with printing kernel debug logs,
just define the DEBUG macro in your module source file for testing.
I also observed that without a new line character at the end of the string
passed to pr_debug, I could not find the log line in dmesg output. Not sure
where this comes from.
