During compile do you define also __KERNEL__ ? [ if not pass -D__KERNEL__ to
gcc ]

Try to put a space between <1> and "Hello..." and... wait you write printk
{...} the { } are typo errors I suppose...
Remember that the prototype is printk ( ... ).

My opinion is that sounds better to use KERN_* instead <1>-<7>. You can find
them in : /usr/src/linux/include/linux/kernel.h ( of course 
#include <linux/kernel.h> will be needed ) :)
Your statements will change in:
printk(KERN_ALERT "Hello world\n");
printk(KERN_ALERT "bye bye\n");
IMHO the code is more readable.

I can't figure out where is the problem. :(
Please checkout your date. It seems you are writing on 04 january :)
