Bug#524495: w83627hf/thf/hg WDT: Unexpected close, not stopping watchdog!
To the bug reporter:
Are you sure your system needs w83627hf_wdt ? I believe Dedibox are VIA
C7-based, and my VIA C7 mainboard definitely needs w83697hf_wdt (with a
nine, not a two) at port address 0x4E.
On my system (VIA en15000g), w83627hf_wdt loads at the default 0x2E but
does nothing, with the same symptoms you described (also, all read to
EFDR @ 0x2F returns 0xFF, so it's likely there is nothing there).
Loading this driver at 0x4E causes a hard lockup: wrong driver. OTOH,
w83697hf_wdt refuses to load at the default 0x2E, and works beautifully
at 0x4E.
FTR, I use option "wdt_io=0x4E nowayout=1 timeout=240".
Hope this helps.
