watchdog with P4SCI and 2.6.9 (Supermicro)

[Olivier Kaloudoff]

Hi !


	I'm happy to say that watchdog for P4SCi is detected
fine with my 2.6.9-freevps-1.5-1 kernel (centos 4.1 patched with freevps 
1.5-1)

[root@shinwey ~]# uname -a
Linux shinwey 2.6.9-freevps-1.5-1 #1 SMP Sun Sep 25 23:07:51 CEST 2005 
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


Sep 26 10:55:18 shinwey kernel: WDT500/501-P driver 0.10 at 0x0240 
(Interrupt 11). heartbeat=60 sec (nowayout=0)

Sep 26 10:55:18 shinwey kernel: wdt: Fan Tachometer is Disabled
Sep 26 10:55:18 shinwey kernel: w83877f_wdt: cannot register miscdev on minor=130 (err=-16)

Sep 26 10:55:18 shinwey kernel: WDT driver for the Winbond(TM) W83627HF Super I/O chip 
initialising.

Sep 26 10:55:18 shinwey kernel: w83627hf WDT: cannot register miscdev on minor=130 (err=-16)


Unfortunatelly, I set up a 4 minutes delay in the bios, the server takes 
less than 2 minutes to boot and detect the watchdog chip, but reboot takes
place ...

I don't get what's happening, my /dev/watchdog is existing and conform to 
the devices.txt;

[root@shinwey Documentation]# ls -l /dev/watchdog
crw-------  1 root root 10, 130 Sep 26  2005 /dev/watchdog


Any tip ?



Sincere Regards,


Olivier Kaloudoff
