Ok, I looked into this, found problem.  My doing :-/

installer parses $VOYAGE_SYSTEM_MODULES,
writes modules with provided options into /etc/modprobe.d/$profile.conf
But lines were missing the module-name, so options for watchdog module
didnt get loaded with the module, and it caused reboots.

with the patch, writes a good file, and boots cleanly.
