Had the reboot delays on a regional Embraer a few years ago. After the third or fourth attempt to get the systems up, running, and happy, they gave up and called maintenance. All these electronic systems are modular so they just swapped a module and we were finally on our way after about a 45 minute delay. I guess we should be thankful it happened at an airport where they had maintenance staff and parts on hand.
