IPMI watchdog question

[Holger Kiehl]

Hello

Using kernel 2.6.7 with ipmi watchdog compiled in, I have noticed that
when the process writting to /dev/watchdog is killed (-9) the system is
not reset. When I query the BMC to list the SEL it does report:

   Watchdog 2 #0x03 | Timer expired

So the BMC does notice that the timer did expire but no action is taken.
What must I do so it resets my system?

Thanks,
Holger
