Hello,
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT:
The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is
to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file
/dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might
get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once
it has been started.
Symbol: WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT [=n]
Prompt: Disable watchdog shutdown on close
Defined at drivers/char/watchdog/Kconfig:31
Depends on: WATCHDOG
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Character devices
-> Watchdog Cards
-> Watchdog Timer Support (WATCHDOG [=y])
That is exactly what I meant. The name is quite a bad choose, but this is definitely it. It says "if /dev/wdX is not open, don't start (or halt if already started) the watchdog timer." So, if you are in boot process, /dev/wd0 just sits there. And when watchdogd gets started, then it is open. So this option ist what helped me, and there were no false negatives yet :) Greetings, Richard Am Dienstag 03 April 2007 14:00 schrieb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2007 08:35:15 -0500 > From: Ted Phelps <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Soekris] "Lockup" update > To: [email protected] > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Richard Homonnai writes: > > Yes, but only if you set in the kernel. > > How do you do that?
