Hi,

does anyone have any info on how to disable the watchdog timer on an intel 
serverboard model SE7501WV2?

I have found the userland application to disable the watchdog in the ICH 
but that dosnt help much when i cant even get 6.0 installed before the 
timer goes off...

Wouldnt it be a good idea if we could disable the timer when booting in 
failsafe mode from the installation CD?
