Continue boot after watchdog reset

Hi,

we've enabler "OS Watchdog Timer" in all our R540/R740 and reset the timer every 2 minutes in our Linux OS. If the OS locks up the watchdog correctly power-cycles the system.

However, after that it stops at the POST screen with the messages that the watchdog power-cycled the system due to an errror.

That's not helpful because the idea of the watchdog timer is to restart the server after it locked up so that it can come up again and boot into the OS again to continue working.

How can we make the servers continue booting without interaction after a power cycle reset?

cu,

Frank
