Hello List, My previous pentium IV motherboard running BUC 5.1.7 was randomly crashing, I had to use hard reset to start it again, and it would run fine, as long as there was no intense traffic, I guess... Since then I replaced it with another one running BUC 5.2.5, as one can probably tell from my dhcpcd/dnsmasq adventure in my previous e-mails to the list…
This made me wonder how the watchdog timer was working on BUC. I think Erich Titl mentioned in some previous mail that the software watchdog was writing to /dev/watchdog every 10 seconds to prevent a system reboot/reset. This prevents software lockups but does not cover hardware problems like the one I experienced with my sick mobo. Obviously if the CPU is not running you’re hanged :-) . Has anybody ever worked on an external hardware watchdog reset timer that would do such a hardware reset ? Thank’s jrb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
