[Voyage-linux] Watchdog issue

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Hi Sasa,

You really don't need to shutdown watchdog.  But if you insist in doing 
so, you should unload "wd1100" watchdog driver, or remove wd1100 line in 
/etc/modules and reboot.  If possible, please stress test 2.6.15_2.0-10 
kernel which is available at:

    
http://www.voyage.hk/dists/unstable/kernel/kernel-image-2.6.15-486-voyage_2.0-10_i386.deb

This kernel should be stable enough for high traffic load.  I also 
invite all list users to test as this will be the kernel for 0.2 release.
