Hey Won, I cannot speak for your particular hardware. I'm not sure if there is a separate independent hardware watchdog. I can say, the settings you make with bmc-watchdog may not survive across a system reboot. It's very possible that after a system reboot, the BIOS resets the watchdog value

Hi Al, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I think this is a protection to the BIOS (not normally writable) so as not to let malicious progs to easily change the settings. Thanks, Won - Original Message From: Al Chu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Won De Erick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: freeipmi-dev
