I have an Intel S1200BT-family server board which I'm pretty sure has a "watchdog" option in the BIOS. I find myself wanting this feature while working through a kernel hang bug (64-bit this time!). The board is considered an entry-level (E3) server board so while it does have many server bells, it's missing some of the higher-end whistles.
Does anyone know if Linux has support for this watchdog? Where do I start looking in terms of packages/programs to support this? I'm hoping this is old hat to someone here...
Thanks!

I did a quick look at it appears that board has an IPMI watchdog. The linux kernel can support IPMI if it is configured properly.
GNU has the bmc-watchdog daemon software for control.
