Iustin, watchdog driver should be handled by the module geodewdt
can you give me a list of your loaded modules and kernel options. Seems I still have a problem with my host bridge voyage:~/p910nd-0.9# lspci 00:01.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Unknown device 2080 (rev 31) 00:01.2 Entertainment encryption device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Geode LX AES Security Block 00:06.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
