Description of problem: LogWatch reports that the asfwdg module is not found. On startup, the same module fails to start. The /etc/init.d/asfd file includes the following line: action $"Loading the watchdog module: " modprobe asfwdg The /etc/modulescripts/asf directory has log files for both the current 2.6.5-1.358smp kernel, as well as previous 2.4 kernels I had on the machine. Previous log files look fine. The current log file is riddled with errors and eventually fails. Here are a few interesting lines. (I can provide the whole thing if that would be helpful.) /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358smp/build/include/asm/mpspec.h:6:25: mach_mpspec.h: No such file or directory /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358smp/build/include/asm/io_apic.h:160: error: `MAX_IRQ_SOURCES' undeclared here (not in a function) asfwdg.c:346:28: linux/i2c-proc.h: No such file or directory asfwdg.c:353:26: linux/tqueue.h: No such file or directory etc, etc... I'm no kernel hacker, so if there's information you need for me to provide, please let me know! Thanks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Upgrade RH9 (as installed by Dell) to FC2. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
dell seems to have installed some weird module on your system that doesn't work with 2.6 kernels.....
Weird indeed. It appears to be the watchdog for the ASF daemon. I don't know if ASF is a standard RH thing or not. In any case, I'll comment out the relevant lines from /etc/init.d/asfd and hope that the problem goes away... I'll also change this bug to WONTFIX, on the assumption that it's Dell's flakiness. I was definitely confused when neither a search of the RH web site nor of google found *any* reference to "asfwdg"!
