I figure you can send SIGSTOP to PID 1, no? (there are some signals the kernel blocks for PID 1, but I think SIGSTOP is not among them, please try) > How do we control which states ( root fs not available, etc) cause > systemd to not ping the hardware watchdog? The watchdog is for detecting software hanging. Root fs not being available does not really qualify as "software hanging". If you want to reboot the machine if it fails to bring everything up, then use JobTimeoutAction= on some suitable action, for example local-fs.target or multi-user.target.
