>Description:
ichwd appears to no longer function.

I had previously been using it on this box with 8.2-R and 8.2-S however once I upgraded to 9.0 it ceased to function.

the ichwd kernel module is loaded, however it is nonfunctional:
ichwd0: <Intel ICH7 watchdog timer> on isa0
ichwd0: unable to reserve GCS registers
device_attach: ichwd0 attach returned 6
ichwd0: <Intel ICH7 watchdog timer> at port 0x1030-0x1037,0x1060-0x107f on isa0
ichwd0: unable to reserve GCS registers
device_attach: ichwd0 attach returned 6

This is what happens when I attempt to run the watchdog daemon:
zfs02# watchdogd -d
watchdogd: patting the dog: Operation not supported
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD 9.0-R
