i wonder, it might actually be heat.

in the first system, it was originally housed in an IBM PC 325 cabinet and
rebooted quite frequently, then it was moved to a 48VDC rackmount chassis,
with somewhat better airflow, and it rebooted less frequently.

the new server is a rackmount case, but it doesn't have much in the way of
extra fans.

is it possible the reboots we are seeing are due to some component overheating?
