[maemo-developers] N810 Resets

I suspected it was the watchdog which was doing software resets. Here is 
the output of the results:

/proc/bootreason
32wd_to

32wd_to: 
5

lifeguard_restarts:
/usr/sbin/dsp_dld -p --disable-restart -c /lib/dsp/dsp_dld_avs.conf :  3
/usr/sbin/multimediad  :  3
/usr/bin/esd :  4 *
/usr/sbin/wlancond : 1
/usr/bin/hildon-input-method  :  4
/usr/sbin/ke-recv :  4
/usr/bin/hildon-desktop  : 1

sw_rst:
3


After that I decided to disable the lifeguard resets in the device by using 
the flasher tool:
flasher --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset -R

(side note: the device was in r&d mode in both runs)

Unfortunately I ended up having the same exact result, the device rebooted 
while running my python script. I also enabled core files to see if it was 
an application crashing but that didn't turn out to be the case since 
there were no core's generated. Furthermore I installed sysklogd to see if 
there will be any time to save error messages prior the reset but nothing 
useful was in the logs. I would appreciate any pointers on debugging this 
issue.

Thanks,
Alex
