This is a simple idea to disable watchdog without recompile kernel.Add
nmi_watchdog=0 in kernel boot parameters.
If I were to stop the watchdog services entirely would I not be losing some
valuable restart of some of the process which it is watching over ?
Hardware watchdog on system board *reboots* the system when it does
not receive a heartbeat from the OS. I am not sure if it can watch
specific OS type services.
I have
other servers running that same kernel on the same server model, I am
going to attempt to uninstall and reinstall that kernel if that is possible.
In case a fresh install is an option then do so --or-- clone a stable
system and replicate on this machine. Also do not rule out chip
level problems in the system board. If it is Intel based, then
download a PCT Live CD (Platform Confidence Testing) for the board in
question and run it through the tests on the LiveCD (It is mostly
Linux based).
Recently, I had mucho problems with a Debian 6 (amd64) install. It
would do kernel panic at boot time and at times after running for
several days. The functions on the stack were random! Backed up
key data and did a fresh install, the system is running stable now.
