6300ESB is not a Watchdog Timer. It is an I/O Controller hub that includes a watch dog timer.
Ah well, I just quoted the output of lspci...
Does anyone know if there is any such driver in progress or if I've misunderstood the situation?
If you tell me why you are interested in the WDT, then maybe I will be able answer your question.
Hummm? In order to have watchdog functionality on the machine? But nevermind, I already got that question answered (with the pci id update for i8xx_tco).
2) IPMI, Documentation/IPMI.txt mentions a ipmi_smb driver, but I could find no such driver in the 2.6.10 tree. Am I missing something?
Do you get the ISM package that shipped with the board? The ISM software stack in not part of the kernel. The IPMI stuff is part of Server Management.
As for IPMI, I have no idea, I just have no experience of it at all and I saw that this mmotherboard supported IPMI so I thought it could be an interesting experiment to learn a bit more about IPMI.
