My bet is on NMI, but who knows. Thanks! Or maybe I am trying to ask a different question. I see that NMI2SMI_EN bit of TCO1_CNT is set 1 on my machine and our watchdog driver is careful to preserve this bit unmodified. This means that watchdog would try to cause SMI instead of NMI. On the other hand I see that bit GBL_SMI_EN of SMI_EN is set to zero, which means that chipset would never generate an SMI. So I think this is why I don't see anything happening. Now, would should try first - reset NMI2SMI_EN to zero or set GBL_SMI_EN to 1? As additional data points: I see that TCO_EN bit of SMI_EN is 1 and it is locked to that value because TCO_LOCK bit of TCO1_CNT is 1. SMI_LOCK in PCI config register GEN_PMCON_1 is not set. -- Andriy Gapon
