Hmmm, this seems to help a bit but the functionality is not there.  The 
module loads and doesnt complain, but it doesnt work in that the daemon 
does not seem to be able to "arm" it so that it reboots

I tried it as a kld and as statically compiled into the kernel and no dice 
on either and statically compiled in is worse.

Also, why would booting without ACPI not work as well if its the "problem" ?


Adding a couple of printfs to the watchdog, the ioctl is returning zero


But if I kill -9 the daemon, the box does not reboot

 From the console,

ichwd module loaded
ichwd_identify(): found ICH chipset: Intel 82801EB/ER watchdog timer
ichwd0: <Intel 82801EB/ER watchdog timer> on motherboard
ichwd0: timer disabled

One last thing which I dont know if its significant or not, but after 
loading the kld, on reboot I get
