Nope, still broken, but in a different way.

This should be KERN_INFO.

_All_ initial printks should have some appropriate KERN_<level>
that is not KERN_CONT (which stands for continuation, btw)

This could be:

		printk(KERN_CONT "\n");
		printk(KERN_ERR "Comedi%d: adv_pci1710: Allocation failed\n",
		       dev->minor);
