[Voyage-linux] Reboot problem solved (kernel 2.6.12)

Hello again

Ok the reboot problem is solved.
In my case inserting wd1100 did not solve the problem. I had to remove 
module
sc520_wdt.ko and softdog in /lib/modules. This module was in no 
/etc/modules file BUT
in the modules.alias in /lib/modules/XXX with mayor 10, minor 130.
but sc1100 was not there.
The problem lies in the wd1100.c.
We must modify  wd1100.c so wd1100 entry in modules.alias is with the 
minor number.
So we can use either sc520_wdt, softdog or wd1100
by inserting the module in /etc/modules.conf

MODULE_AUTHOR("Mark Grosberg and Rolando Goldman");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Driver for watchdog timer CPU in NS SC1x00 uProcessor");
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(WATCHDOG_MINOR);

Of cours only the last line is really needed but ...
Punky could you apply this to your wd1100 patch so future realeases will 
do the right job?

Thanks and have fun

Beat
