use watchdog

[defaultuserfoo]

Hi,

on hardware that has a hardware watchdog, do I need to do anything other than to enable the watchdog in the BIOS?

Not that I know off.

Watchdog should work as long as you have watchdog supporting hardware. It is possible you need to add tunable for it, but not sure about that (mine doesn't have any tunable for watchdog, but then again I don't have hardware that supports it, so can't test it)

You can try if it works (there's no harm in it). If it does require tunable, then it's better to check that, since tunables are things you shouldn't touch if you don't know what you're doing
