Doh, I searched for the wrong keywords in the archive :-) Yes, that's the same bug and if I get Dave's mail right he is seeing the bug on the X4500 and X4200. If it's a X4200M2, it has the same firmware as the X4100M2, and for this one the bug is not fixed in the recent update. > Same applies. I can give a patch a shot, and you can try it out?? It Of course I could, but I agree with you that it wouldn't be a good thing. I can work without the daemon of course and use cron and a endless while-loop to reset the timer, and I guess that's better than patching around such an obvious bug. I succeeded in triggering the bug without the bmc-watchdog by just accessing the watchdog remotely via "ipmi <machine> ... mc watchdog get/reset". Thus, Sun has no chance argueing it is some Linux problem with freeipmi etc. And since we still have support for the X4100M2 I will demand a firmware upgrade. Let's see what they do. I just wanted to make sure there was an obvious workaround that I missed :-) Thanks! And I will let you know what comes out of the Sun support request! cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
