Oliver,
Thanks for the patch, but sadly this didnt help the situation I have
with my
motherboard. It identifies the ICH9R chipset, but sadly looks like the
motherboard company has disabled the watchdog action. I have already spoken to
the motherboard producers and they sware they have not, but looking at the
code I cant see any other explanation for the behavior.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-X48-DS5 Bios F7 (latest)
Output is:
ichwd0: <Intel ICH9R watchdog timer> on isa0
ichwd0: ICH WDT present but disabled in BIOS or hardware
device_attach: ichwd0 attach returned 6
I looked at the datasheet for the ICH9 chipset and I believe they have
a
pull-up on the speaker line that is telling the chip to disable the watchdog
functions.
