Patch for SparcStation2 watchdog reset

2007-12-25 7:28:00

Summary:

The Sparc2 watchdog reset patch (and many others) are available

on ftp.cs.toronto.edu in the directory /sun-patches.

Thanks to a quick response from Edward Vielmetti <emv@ox.com>.

I installed the patch and don't see the problem anymore.
