Hi Zine!

I didn't get that you have the source-code of the module.
The keyword "tainted" in your lsmod-output shows, that you have a
propritary driver loaded in your system. I thought that would be the
watchdog-driver. But from the sourcecode you can see, that the driver
stands under gpl and won't taint your kernel.
I would strongly suggest to update to 2.4.32 and recompile the
watchdog-module. I don't think, that you will find an error in such old
code in an acceptable time.

Dirk
