Hello,

I'm running Debian 1.3.0, kernel 2.0.30, and my software watchdog timer
is having trouble starting getting started at boot time. The .deb
installed all right, my kernel is configured

        CONFIG_WATCHDOG=y
        CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT=y
        # CONFIG_WDT is not set
        CONFIG_SOFT_WATCHDOG=m
        # CONFIG_PCWATCHDOG is not set

and "ls -l /dev/watchdog" says

        crw-rw---- 1 root sys 10, 130 May 28 02:49 /dev/watchdog

Nevertheless, after startup my system log tells me

        watchdog[106]: starting daemon (2.1): 10s mla=12
        watchdog[106]: cannot open /dev/watchdog
        watchdog[106]: stopping daemon (2.1)

Please note that I _can_ start it manually:

        watchdog[251]: starting daemon (2.1): 10s mla=12
        kernel: Software Watchdog Timer: 0.04, timer margin: 60 sec

Any ideas?

Greetings,
Stefan
