Bug#638863: "shpchp: Cannot reserve MMIO region" error during boot (linux 3.0)

Hi Bjorn,

I applied the patches you sent to the list, for both of the issues, and the 
messages are both gone. (Those address conflict messages I mentioned were 
already gone with the plain rc3).
However, I don't know how to verify that the watchdog works. I installed the 
"watchdog" package, and I just did "kill -9 <watchdog PID>", but the system 
keeps running. The same behaviour is shown with the 3.0 shipped by Debian. Now 
I don't know if that's the watchdog or my verification method failing ;-)

Kind regards,
Ralf
