Pali,

I have a seriously tweaked N900 with U-boot and bootmenu. I'm usually booting the PR1.3 kernel w/ builtin framebuffer and from there to Bootmenu 1.12, where I normally just boot Maemo5 in the normal way.

Now, every time (cannot be sure, but at least "many" times) after booting I see a core dump on /core.

I just happened to install gdb for unrelated reasons but I decided to run gdb --core=/core and I get:

Code:
Core was generated by `/usr/sbin/watchdogs' .
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x00008c64 in ?? ()
I have minimal experience with gdb as well as with ARM code, so I'm not pursuing this further on the N900 side.

I also had a look at watchdogs.c and see nothing obviously broken. I have not enabled R&D (cal-tool -d says disabled)

Just wanted to let you know. If you have any idea what could be wrong please let me know.
