Hello,

I have new Intel DG33FB mainboard.


Mar  2 20:47:19 joker1 kernel: iTCO_vendor_support: vendor-support=0
Mar  2 20:47:19 joker1 kernel: iTCO_wdt: Intel TCO WatchDog Timer Driver 
v1.02 (26-Jul-2007)
Mar  2 20:47:19 joker1 kernel: iTCO_wdt: Found a ICH9DH TCO device 
(Version=2, TCOBASE=0x0460)
Mar  2 20:47:19 joker1 kernel: iTCO_wdt: initialized. heartbeat=30 sec 
(nowayout=0)
...
Mar  4 14:22:59 joker1 kernel: iTCO_wdt: Unexpected close, not stopping 
watchdog!


I start watchdog.c and then kill it expecting the system to reboot - but 
it doesn't.

Isn't this how it is supposed to work?

Linux version 2.6.23.15-137.fc8


Thanks,
Steve
