Hi Al,

Just so there is a record for the mailing list archives, In my case I saw a
bug in my Supermicro 5016T-MTFB Superserver, which caused the BMC watchdog
to count down on reboot. I just upgraded the BIOS from 1.0 to 2.0 and the
system no longer does this. Thanks for your help in debugging.

Regards,
Rob
