Watchdog???
-
So I finished a fresh setup and install of retropie4.1. After I have everything all set up I reboot and I get a "watchdog did not stop". The pi does reboot but I never had this issue before. Anyone can help explain this.
I have a raspberry pi 3 with retropie 4.1.

@adon767 It's not an issue and you can ignore it.

@synack Sweet. Then my retropi is all setup. Thanks to this community. You guys rock!!

@synack Indeed it seems like it's no issue, but is there an explanation for the watchdog message?

@ezra84 From another source:
This is perfectly normal. When shutting down, systemd sets a watchdog timeout of 10 minutes (see /etc/systemd/system.conf), then closes the watchdog before executing systemd-shutdown (this is a bit simplified, can't remember the precise mechanics). As systemd did not stop the watchdog, Linux warns you. This has the effect that if shutdown is not completed within 10 minutes, your hardware watchdog will trigger the specified action. -
@jonnykesh Ok thanks for the info!
