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. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-l6r200-test2 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages watchdog depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii makedev 2.3.1-88 creates device files in /dev ii udev 0.125-7 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo watchdog recommends no packages. watchdog suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
