Hi all,
yesterday in the afternoon i get my n900.

I used it for two hours and it rebooted 4 times:

- The first time rebooted when i changed APN
- The second time rebooted when i installed sudo
- The third time when configuring skype
- The fourth loading weather forecast

The battery was low so leave it alone charging.

This morning i tried to update the weather forecast and boom another reboot.

I opened the terminal to look to /boot/bootreason to see the cause of the reboot, it contains: 32wd_to that means was the watchdog that reboots the terminal.

I also made a dmesg to see if there was some errors and boom reboots again.

Is there any way to further investigate the problem ?
May be an hardware failure ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have had similar reboots. but for now, no reboots since 3 hours and have played with my device the whole time. what I did? -disabled 3g -radio.(at last, did also numerous other tweaks that didnt help) that came to my mind when device rebooted in exactly same place where I once called with my E71 and the line was very distorted. and symbian nokias rebooting because of the 3g-gsm jumps have been normal before.

I am truly hoping that it would fix the issue. I'll create bugzilla entry tonight if there are no more reboots appearing.

Sounds like N900 still has childhood diseases
I'm gonna wait with buying till this isn't happening anymore. Who knows if the bug isn't a hardware problem.

I'm having unexpected reboots too!! I think the culprit is Mail For Exchange. Can you try disabling it and see if it stops rebboting?

I have no /boot/bootreason, by the way. Where can I find it?

Ok, found it: it is /proc/bootreason and not /boot.
I have 32wd_to too...

Constant reboots for me also by 32wd_to hardware monitor. It's not rebooting when using charger so I think monitor is trying to save battery by rebooting device when something gets stuck consuming too much power.

I was just about to post that I've had no reboots at all... And then it happened. Two times. This thread must be cursed.

The reason was different each time, sw_rst and 32wd_to.

Not using MfE.
