Hello Guys, Another update... I've found a temporary solution to the problem, now this to me seems totally bizarre but perhaps someone will have an idea as to why it acts like this.
When I build the cf card, if I do it locally at the system with a keyboard and mouse, then the watchdog device won't appear on the system when i place the newly built card into the wrap board. However, if I connect to my system using telnet, and then build the card, it works perfectly and watchdog comes to life :-s Any ideas why it would be different from building locally to connecting to my system remotely? Seems insane!

I have a little more information for everyone this morning on this. I've done a completely new build this morning of 0.4 onto a compact flash using GRUB and put it into a machine here in the office which I've seen the watchdog working on before, and.... nothing! The watchdog device doesn't appear, the device /dev/watchdog just doesn't appear. :-s So it would seem that this isn't anything to do with the hardware itself, and the software is a completely clean build so I'm guessing it's not really anything I've done to the software. I know that grub has caused problems in the past with WRAP, but I'm not sure if that would effect this watchdog, everything else seems to be up and running a real charm. I couldn't get a disk with lilo to build properly for some reason. Any thoughts on this guys? I need to get this sorted ASAP and would really appreciate any help you can offer to diagnose the problem :-) Thanks guys, Rob -----Original Message----- From: Michael Renzmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 September 2007 05:22 To: Robert Rawlins - Think Blue Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Voyage-linux] Watchdog Dissapearing Hi. > Everything appeared to be working fine, yet for some reason I'm now > noticing that after a while the watchdog decides to stop working and > I get entries in my syslog files that tell me the device /dev/watchdog > isn't a valid device :-s We have similar issues with some WRAPs, but only with the temperature sensor. Rebooting helps there, however, and I'm not sure yet that this issue isn't caused by my 2.4 port of the lm77 driver.
