Just to let you know that gbl_smi_en=0, also solves the problem with Intel DG35EC motherboard, witch uses a 82801HB I/O Controller Hub (ICH8) Regards, Rui > Thanks in advance, > Wim. > > The Changes are: > > Author: Wim Van Sebroeck <[email protected]> > Date: Thu Apr 30 09:13:33 2009 +0000 > > [WATCHDOG] iTCO_wdt: Fix ICH9 reboot issue. > > Bugzilla: 9868 & 10195. > There seems to be a bug into the SMM code that handles TCO Timeout SMI. > Andriy Gapon found that the code on his DG33TL system does the following: > > The handler is quite simple - it tests value in TCO1_CNT against 0x800, > i.e. > > checks TCO_TMR_HLT.
