I just sent a message not too long ago about weird watchdog timeout messages. I thought those were just harmless messages but I was wrong. Whenever someone from any windows machine tries to copy files onto an SMB share of this machine, they get an error box that says, "couldn't complete due to a network error." At the very same time, these watchdog messages show up. What is going on? Is the the ethernet card's driver bad or is the watchdog feature interfering with the operating system? In my kernel config all I have is device pn0. I do not have option HW_WDOG. Should I add this in even though I don't have a watchdog driver (or do I and I just don't know it)? please help. john. The following is the original message. >Hi, > Apparently, the ethernet card of a machine I'm installing has this PNIC >watchdog feature on it. > Right now, this pops up > > Apr 1 13:19:35 nupharm-f /kernel: pn0: watchdog timeout > Apr 1 13:28:43 nupharm-f /kernel: pn0: watchdog timeout > Apr 1 13:29:09 nupharm-f /kernel: pn0: watchdog timeout > Apr 1 13:29:58 nupharm-f last message repeated 3 times > >I suppose this means that something within the OS didn't pay enough attention >to the card and since the machine didn't restart that also probably means the >reset switch is not hooked up. > >But anyway, how do I prevent this from happening or disable the watchdog >feature? > >john.
