I used the vanilla linux 2.6.30 and compiled with mpc85xx_defconfig(enable CONFIG_BOOK_WDT) and then ran on 8548CDS and soon after I saw the prompt I hit this watchdog.

Have anyone seen this before? Why the EE bit is on in the stack trace? I put show_regs in watchdog exception handler in traps.c. I verified that EE is off when entering the watchdog exception handler. Can I trust this stack trace?

Thanks
