Package: general
Severity: normal

The Debian installer images for jessie apparently do not have watchdog
support enabled in the kernel, so they do not send heartbeats to the
BIOS.

This results in the installer system aborting and the machine resetting
after five minutes, or whatever the BIOS sees as watchdog timeout.

Disabling watchdog support during installation is obviously a simple
workaround, but it could still be enabled as to my knowledge, it does
not make the kernel significantly better.

Your system is misconfigured: the watchdog must not engage until the 
kernel configures it.
