Package: watchdog
Version: 5.9-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm using watchdog on my N900, which is turned off by a hardware
watchdog after less than one minute. Currently the package defines
the following in its init.d script:
Required-Start: $all
This results in a very late start of the watchdog. In case of my
N900 it's turned of before starting the watchdog :( Please change
it to something like the follwing:
Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog

And what activates the hardware watchdog? Nothing should activate the hardware
and then leave it alone IMO. Watchdog on the other hand cannot be the culprit
as it is started later.

This has been done by design because watchdog also is able to monitor other
processes and of course they have to be started before they can be monitored.

No, this will not happen. Therefore I close the bug. The watchdog package also
contains another binary named wd_keepalive that only opens and triggers the hw
watchdog. This is started very early in the boot process. So essantially it
should do what you're looking for.
Having said that the problem you're seeing might be related to that program
although I've never heard about that program going away. Should that be the
case feel free to report a new bug or reopen this one with additional info.
