Oh, yes, there's an ipmi_watchdog module, but it's not loaded on my GNU/Linux systems, and the one I'm particularly interested in is the Solaris one which doesn't need the openipmi driver and shows the same effect. > > I do have one other guess as to how you're seeing "timer stopped by > another process".

If you're interested in the `BMC busy' failure with the freeipmi interface to the watchdog, let me know any useful debugging I can do, but it's not a problem for me. _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-devel
