If I check another almost identical machine still running > 2.4.27 but with the watchdog timer unloaded, /proc/ioports gives: grep -r shows that it's ACPI which declares this "motherboard" name. I seem to remember about a change in the ACPI resource reservation. You might want to check with Len or Marcelo. I believe you cannot disable it if you want to use HT.

Simply comment out the "return -EIO" at line 402. It will still print the message but should load.
