Yes, the same feeling. This error is independend on load. I downloaded
tens of GB and nothing happend, but usually after boot this error
occures ( I do not know if it is really error).
Tonight I tested small pings on this machine from several stations in
network, no "watchdog timeout" message.
Once I mentioned 1-2 seconds networking break, when I 'dmesg'
immediatelly after that, the "watchdog" was there.
Im not sure if I can put it as production server :-(. But  .... I will
try. ;-)
