Post subject:  no watchdog driver support

Hi,

I'm trying to get the watchdog driver to run in my kernel configuration but it's not there. Help in menconfig for the watchdog device driver is quite clear. I have enabled these 3 options:

CONFIG_WATCHDOG=y
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT=y
CONFIG_AT91SAM9X_WATCHDOG=y

Evidently, based on the above, I should be able to see this string in my bootup output at some point if the driver is there:

"AT91 Watchdog Timer enabled"

But I don't!!

Module support is turned off.

Could there be another conflicting option that prevents support for the watchdog? The reason why I ask is that I have observed the above bootup message claiming support for the the watchdog driver before, but now I don't. I didn't chase this problem before because I was chasing another issue, several issues ago.

Any help would be appreciated.

/carl h.

The boot.bin file that is usually supplied has the watchdog turned off. I had to compile ny own version of the boot file that does not shut the watchdog off.
