I'll see that I can at > least see what kernel patch needs to be present. afaik it is not so much a kernel version issue, but a kernel config that needs to be turned on: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/PRINTK_TIME.html says it's available ins 2.6.12 Debian kernels have CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y Ubuntu 10.10 and F14 as it seems, too.
