FYI, looks my version of busybox is to blame.  The original TS version works fine.

Thanks Martin -- that's what I suspected.  I have a custom busybox (actually, custom everything including redboot/kernel/filesystem) and it sounds like I didn't build something correctly.  I'll slowly replace pieces with the original TS software and see if I can find the culprit.

Oh and thanks for the userspace tip, I always forget that you can mmap those registers if need be...

Cheers

I am sure you don't want to hear this, but "works for me".  I have deployed about 7
TS7250, and they all work fine for either reboot or shutdown -r now.

I have also played with the watchdog function, and I'm sure you don't need a kernel
module.  You could use a user-space program that sets the watchdog and never feeds it.
That'll give you a reboot ok - but you will probably want to do a sync first, unless your
flash filesystem is mounted read-only.
