Thanks for the report, I don't have any hardware with a watchdog which has Debian installed just yet so I missed this during the backport. Please could you try reinstalling 0.4.2-7+wheezy1 and replacing the script with the attached version which uses the qcommand wrapper instead of the current thing. Then run "update-initramfs -u" (I think this runs flash-kernel automatically, if not you may need to do it by hand) and reboot. qcommand is probably right thing to use even in the Sid version, although qcontrol --direct happens to work too. I also made it use qcommand -t to check for supported hardware. Ian. -- Ian Campbell An ounce of hypocrisy is worth a pound of ambition. -- Michael Korda
