Those are almost all dev_dbg spew. This seems relevant: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/789201 The normal way to enable dev_dbg spew is via some debugfs magic: http://outer-rim.gnu4u.org/?p=38 (see also <kernel source>/Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt) But I also seem to recall that DEBUG may be getting defined somewhere as part of the media_build process, which might be what is enabling that spew in your case. -- Jarod Wilson ja...@wilsonet.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
