Re: [cobalt-security] Raq4 rebooting itself

Sorry for the late addition.

I too had a RaQ4 rebooting, and misbehaving.  It was also traced to a bad
cooling fans.  Once they were replaced, I've had no reboots since.

Makes we wonder if we should all be checking our cooling fans.  The Raq4
hardware might be getting a little old.....
