watchdogd panic when shutdown -p

[Emanuel Strobl]

Hello,

I have a kernel with SW_WATCHDOG and simply enabled watchdog in rc.conf.
I haven't found much info on that topic but I guess when the machine hangs 
(watchdogd doesn't get a result from the trivial fsck (what's that btw?)) the 
kernel will reset the machine. Best would be if I never see watchdog in 
action but I'm seeing a panic message after some interrupt statistics (see 
below) and the machine doesn't power off (like it does without watchdogd 
enabled).
Any hints? I played a bit with setting the -t timeoutseconds but this didn't 
change anything, the machine doesn't power off. Is it correct that the 
trivials filesystem check of watchdogd is really done every second by 
default?

Thanks a lot,

-Harry
