Hi, Most of the watchdog drivers have an option "module_param(nowayout, int, 0);" and this determines if the watchdog is disabled when the device is closed. You may want to consider disabling nowayout via a kernel boot parameter and this should stop the router from rebooting when the watchdog is closed. -- John -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
