Watchdog doesn't work in RHEL 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Why does RHEL6 include an older version of the watchdog package than RHEL5?
  • Watchdog fails to reset the ipmi watchdog timer on Sun x4100 hardware -- the system reboots continuously if the watchdog daemon is started

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • watchdog-5.5-10.el6
