  • At present the module does not unset the NO_REBOOT bit upon shutdown, this
    causes the BIOS to fail the POST once and reset. During the next boot it
    displays the following error message:

    ***** Warning: System BOOT Fail *****
    Your system last boot fail or POST interrupted.
    Please enter setup to load default and reboot again.
    Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP

    With this patch the NO_REBOOT flag will be unset on shutdown and thus stop
    this failure from occurring.

    Tested on 'ASUS P5N32-E SLI with BIOS revision 1801' and
    'ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS with BIOS revision 1502'.

  • Fix section mismatch warning:
    Mark the called nv_tco_getdevice() as __devinit, just like its caller.

    WARNING: drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.o(.devinit.text+0x16): Section mismatch in reference from the function nv_tco_init() to the function .init.text:nv_tco_getdevice()
    The function __devinit nv_tco_init() references
    a function __init nv_tco_getdevice().
    If nv_tco_getdevice is only used by nv_tco_init then
    annotate nv_tco_getdevice with a matching annotation.

  • This driver adds support for /dev/watchdog for boards using either the MCP51 or
    MCP55 chipsets. These are also known as the nForce 430 and nForce 550. This
    driver is likely to work on other chipsets as well, though those are the only
    two that have been tested.
