Looks like a watchdog is being loaded. Please find out which one and I
will add it to the default blacklist.

Er. sure. Any idea how I should so this?
Would removing items from hotplug.d and putting them back one-by-one be
a good strategy?

boot the system and check with lsmod which modules have been loaded.

Subject: hotplug: Hotplug on D-I RC1 causes continuous reboot cycle

Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040329-12
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

I've installed SARGE using the debian-installer RC1.
When it boots for the first time to finishing configuration I find it reboots
after about a minute. This makes it impossible to use the machine for
anything except a demo of a re-booting machine.

This does NOT happen if I boot with init=/bin/bash

By removing /etc/init.d/hotplug I manage to stop the reboot cycle and also
thankfully the framebuffer stops being enabled.

Maybe hotplug isn't at fault but some of the modules it loads?
No idea. I am very happy to supply further information upon request.

Well the extra modules loaded when the machine reboots are:
intelfb
fbcon-cfb8
fbcon-cfb16
fbcon-cfb32
i810-tco

I tried modprobing them one at a time and waiting

intelfb & chums dont cause a problem

modprobe i810-tco
does cause a reboot after around a minute.

So I guess its the culprit?

Yes, I will fix this in the next upload.
As a workaround you can add it to /etc/hotplug/blacklist.

Well the extra modules loaded when the machine reboots are:
intelfb
fbcon-cfb8
fbcon-cfb16
fbcon-cfb32
i810-tco

I tried modprobing them one at a time and waiting

intelfb & chums dont cause a problem

modprobe i810-tco
does cause a reboot after around a minute.

So I guess its the culprit?
