After running a few tests with the watchdog on two ALIX2C3, I can confirm that the hardware watchdog works fine using the GENERIC kernel from the latest -current snapshot with BIOS 0.99. To test, I have simpley disabled tickling by the kernel: sysctl kern.watchdog.auto=0 The watchdog bites within 30 seconds which is the default kern.watchdog.period=30 Running the userspace tickler watchdogd, which implicitly disables kern.watchdog.auto, successfully prevents the watchdog from biting, as it should be. Thanks to marc@ et al. who implemented & extended glxpcib for ALIX! Rolf
