[Voyage-linux] Alix3D3 + Voyage 0.8.0 (daily build 20120308): no LEDs, no watchdog

[Achim Vollhardt]

Hi Punky,
changed the switch in menu.lst to alix.force=1, but still no LEDs and no 
/dev/watchdog.

How is this done? Sorry for the likely stupid question.. I am new to 
Linux and tried google, but with little success..

Thanks,
Achim
