Timer Watchdog on PE 1950/2950/2900

Hello everybody,

I am trying to use the timer watchodg functionnality on my Poweredge 
x9xx series.

On these PowerEdge, the watchdog driver doesn't seem to be the i8xx_tco 
: when I try to load it, modprobe returns a -1 error code with "No Such 
Device" message. So I decided to compile all Intel Watchdog drivers. The 
only driver loadable is the iTCO_wdt but when I load it, I have the 'No 
card detected' on my kernel log and as a consequence it is impossible to 
control the timer watchdog with that driver.

I am working on Fedora Core 6 using a 2.6.19.2 kernel. Can somebody help 
me telling which driver I must use in order to control the watchdog ?

Thank you for your answers

Best Regards,
Olivier BONHOMME
