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. -- Romain Dolbeau <rom...@dolbeau.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
