I have connected a console session using a serial console cable[1], on a custom Debian Jessie console image. Watchdog has been enabled using echo 1 > /dev/watchdog
but this produces a series of console messages that makes the console difficult to use:
watchdog watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!
Image attached for clarity. I can still login at the console login prompt if I dont get confused by all the messages.
Question: is this a known issue, and how do I prevent those messages from appearing?
