Re: [cobalt-users] Raq3 problems

[Bruce Kyle <bruce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

we did have problems initially with our raq3 (would you believe 2
hardware issues!) - luckily we had an external 'eggspert' who diagnosed
a cpu fault when compiling php4 (sig 11 errors) - cobalt (through our
hoster concentric) replaced 2 units until the current one which is
working without a hitch!
