Bug Description
I needed to blacklist the Intel TCO kernel module in order for the watchdog to work properly.
``blacklist iTCO_wdt``
I didn't have this problem before zesty.

Hi Kai,
I came by this accidentally and searched the internet a bit.
The results have showed me a picture that the defaults seem to be fine but on certain HW setups concurring drivers compete on HW. /lists. debian. org/debian- user/2015/ 02/msg00626. html /bugzilla. redhat. com/show_ bug.cgi? id=514678 /fedoraproject. org/wiki/ Features/ AgentFreeManage ment /git.kernel. org/pub/ scm/linux/ kernel/ git/torvalds/ linux.git/ commit/ ?id=092369efbd6 ef6b4a215741ce9 f65446bf45beff
Examples:

Even mentioned in the design of a Fedora effort on this:

And finally there are kernel changes like: https:/
Furthermore there were no similar reports in all the time since then and openipmi has got quite a bunch of stable updates (2.0.18 -> 2.-0.25).
All that lets me expect that:
a) this is very configuration / HW dependent to trigger at all
b) has a not too bad chance to be fixed these days.
Therefore I'm marking the bug incomplete and ask you to reporte back if you are still affected today. If so please provide some detailed information on what happens exactly and which HW is involved.
I know this feels silly after the bug is open for two year, but as I said I only came by now :-/
