Hi Punky, same with the new BIOS v0.90
Booting with kernel from voyage 0.4.0 is o.k. - without watchdog.

Voyage 0.4.1 kernel has in-kernel, geode-specific codes that enables the mfgpt (multi-purpose general function timer), which is required for the watchdog driver. The code works on Alix1C board. However, the same piece of code does not work on Alix2B and 3B. This problem has been reported to Pascal in PCEngines, and we concluded that it is the BIOS issue that some of the chipset features are not set correctly. You may also know that the TinyBIOS in alix2b and 3b are not fully ready yet. So we have to wait until the BIOS is ready, or using Voyage 0.4.0, but you will not having watchdog feature.
