zcat /proc/config.gz prints running kernel configuration

Thanks zgoda
I dont have a config.gz in /proc but dmesg is giving me

[ 4.007385] sunxi_wdt_init_module: sunxi WatchDog Timer Driver v1.0
[ 4.019764] sunxi_wdt_probe: devm_ioremap return wdt_reg 0xf1c20ca0, res->start 0x01c20ca0, res->end 0x01c20cbf
[ 4.031125] sunxi_wdt_probe: initialized (g_timeout=16s, g_nowayout=0)
[ 4.049212] wdt_enable, write reg 0xf1c20cb8 val 0x00000000
[ 4.060848] timeout_to_interv, line 167
[ 4.070532] interv_to_timeout, line 189
[ 4.080130] wdt_set_tmout, write 0x000000b0 to mode reg 0xf1c20cb8, actual timeout 16 sec

so hopefully its actually working.
Now to get the watchdog daemon cooperating with it.

Sounds a bit like the power supply, try a different one if you can.

You have to load appropriate module if it is not compiled into kernel:

$ sudo modprobe configs

How can we compile kernel modules when using loboris' jesse image? I would love to be able to compile some specific netfilter modules and load them using modprobe but I dont know how to compile kernel modules for the orange pi - PC

Running into an issue with DNScrypt-proxy and it seems to be pointing towards kernel related. see here: http://www.orangepi.org/orangepi ... &fromuid=151571

I've used the firmware update function in DietPi and the problem still persists.
