setting unsupported timeout for i6300esb watchdog causes hw reset
This bug has been copied automatically from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1423528
Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=778291 Version: 2.1 systemd utilizes existing watchdog hardware and set's a 10min timer on reboot. The i6300esb under qemu doesn't like such a timeout, and immediately resets the hardware: The last message one gets is [ 9.402243] i6300esb: Unexpected close, not stopping watchdog! The linked bug report contains information how this bug can easily be reproduced. With any image using a recent enough systemd as PID 1 you should be able to reproduce it by running qemu-system-x86_64 -curses -enable-kvm -device i6300esb -watchdog-action reset -hda <image with systemd> I'm uncertain if this is a qemu or kernel/driver bug. If the latter, please re-assign the bug as necessary.
