Comment 0 for bug 6802

Package: kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686
Severity: grave

After an upgrade to 2.6.5 from 2.4.26 is the computer unusable due to
cyclic reboot. This is caused by loading the i810-tco watchdog-module
without having any daemon pinging the watchdog.

This looks similar to bug #247853, but the package discover is not
installed.

The full sequence performed to trigger this bug is:

1. Install the computer using a sarge beta 4 CD, selecting 2.4
   install.

2. Upgrade the kernel to 2.4.26.

3. Reboot.

4. Upgrade the kernel to 2.6.5.

5. Reboot.

Step 2 and 3 have probably nothing to do with the problem.

Chipset: Intel 7205

The watchdog modules shall *only* be loaded if a watchdog daemon is
installed!
