Details

relabs08 is in an infinite reboot loop.  When starting to boot centos, it prints this error:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5493

Which is supposedly harmless... and then claims it's restarting the system.  Please take a look at it.  I have left the machine powered off for now.
This is due to puppet stating that it is already running and then failing to start. Machine starts up fine in single user mode also.
i wonder if this is a stale lock file from puppet?  It might be a good idea to remove the puppet lock file very early on in the system startup, way before puppet would be invoked.

summary:     Bug 735512: wait 10 minutes between puppet-failure reboots

From later discussions it doesn't sound like this actually was a stale lockfile.  Newer versions of puppet are supposed to be better about that, so I don't want to hack around such a bug until I've seen it.

I've stood relabs08 back on its feet (fixing the corrupt repo in the process)
