Watchdog?
-
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,

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!
