      Hey folks,

      I have a SuperMicro X11SCL-F Server. I enabled the WatchDog funtionality in the BIOS and lo and behold it reboots every 5 minutes (Duh).

      I installed watchdog service and then I noticed there is no /dev/watchdog device?

      Do I need to add some grub command flags or anything specific for the watchdog device to pop up?

      Im sure its a tiny issue only, but I am stuck. Help.

      Thanks in advance,
      Christian

        Accidently solved by myself by loading ipmi_watchdog module. Sigh.

          Ah I see, so if you enable it in the BIOS but without loading the module in the Dom0, then it will think the dead man switch is triggered and you are in for a reboot, I see 😄 Thanks for sharing your experience anyway!
