Here are the relevant lines: ichwd0: <Intel ICH7 watchdog timer> on isa0 isab0: found ICH7 or equivalent chipset: Intel ICH7 watchdog timer ichwd0: Intel ICH7 watchdog timer (ICH7 or equivalent) ichwd0: timer disabled After watchdogd has started I get this message every second: ichwd0: timer reloaded I guess the ichwd is hardware disabled by the bios. Can this be corrected somehow? The BIOS of that Intel server motherboard is somewhat horrible. No AHCI=20 support, no console redirectiojn for the RAID setup, only one mode in VGA=20 BIOS and now ichwd disabled. I'll stay with FujitsuSiemens. =2DHarry
