I don't understand the description. Do you mean you have installed the software watchdog daemon (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/list/*watchdog*) and this process is taking 100% of CPU, or is there some other watchdog you are talking about?
I use Fedora 16 with Openbox. I also have a problem with watchdog, and it's very diffucult to reproduce. However, sometimes after a couple of minutes of turning on the computer, the pc freeze for a short period of time (3,4 or 5 seconds). So, when I start de computer I run manually "top -b >> somefile" to see after the freezing what's the problem. This way i could find out that watchdog has peaks of cpu load. This peaks of cpu load come with other peaks from another programs. But they vary, you can find firefox, parcellite, nm-applet, kworker, etc. But always the highest peak is from watcthdog.
Created attachment 555363 [details] output of top right after reboot In line 7780 you can find the peak of cpu load from watchdog
Created attachment 555365 [details] output of top after reboot Line 2685 another peak from watchdog.
Hello, please pay attention to comment 1. Are you (any of you) talking about the software watchdog daemon, or some other "watchdog", and if so what other watchdog?

The watchdog daemon does not appear in either of the enormous files posted. Note that "watchdog/N" is not the software watchdog daemon.

Then I don't know what it is. I search for 'watchdog' in yumex and I only have installed rtkit (ver 0.10-1.fc16) and ppl-pwl (ver 0.11.2-3.fc16).
