Interesting…

Last night I installed linux-image-4.1.0-0.bpo.2-kirkwood (note: “bpo.2”, not 
“bpo.1” but should that make any difference?) on my SheevaPlug.  I did not 
update flash-kernel or qcontrol.   But it rebooted cleanly following the 
upgrade and it’s been running for 12 hours with no watchdog problems.

Was this fixed in bpo.2?
