Package: watchdog
Version: 5.4-10
Severity: important

I am using the AMD Geode Hardware watchdog driver "geodewdt" (CONFIG_GEODE_WDT) 
in Linux kernel. 
My /etc/modules contains the line:
geodewdt
which causes the module to load properly - /dev/watchdog file created.

My /etc/watchdog.conf file has following line:
ping    192.168.0.101

However upon boot, I see some messages like:
Starting watchdog keepalive daemon: Ignoring config line: ping 192.168.0.101
wd_keepalive
Then I see,
Stopping watchdog keepalive daemon
Starting watchdog daemon.

Although the wd_keepalive stops, somehow my ping line in still ignored.
I verified this my shutting down the 192.168.0.101 machine and still after 1 
minute my system does not reboot which it should.

If use Etch on the same machine (with same kernel), watchdog version in Etch, 
everything works fine.
The system shutsdown after 1 min from 101 going down.

I guess watchdog version in Etch did not have wd_keepalive binary then.
