Hi!
I apologize for the typo : the stations are RS6000 (no 600).

This patch (against 2.4.0-test9-pre7) makes all watchdog drivers use
module_init, rather than explicit init calls; as a side-effect, it fixes a
presumed bug that would cause the softdog driver to be used if i810-tco and
softdog were enabled.
I think it would make sense to move the watchdog driver

Mike,
I am with you guys fully now, and the fork in the road has been taken.
We are now a Linux and Open Source shop. I appreciate your kind
comments. I have created an alternate email account for you and telnet
login at vger.timpanogas.org. I can also host any domain name you wish
to use.
