[SOLVED] How can I change the size of dmesg ? [linux 2.4]

Issue

I'm writing some code with printk [i'm printing while in kernel mode] , but because dmesg is too small I'm losing the first few printk's.

How can I increase the size of dmesg ?

thanks in advance for the help!

Solution

You need to set CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT during compile time. The size of the buffer can not be modified in run time.

The size of the buffer is 2^CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes
