If you're using a uniprocessor machine, using mdelay() doesn't allow syslog to run during this time. Softdog has a "testing" mode, which can be enabled by defining ONLY_TESTING. This disables the automatic reboot, but the system will log the timeout message. -- Russell King (rmk@arm.linux.org.uk) The developer of ARM Linux http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
