[op5-users] troubleshooting merlin

[Russell Jennings]

well, to clarify, only one VM is on at a time. it is that they are  
similar in all other regards, just different OS's, and one works and  
one doesn't. I shut down one and power up the other and everything  
starts working. Which leads me to believe it is something with the  
centos node in some way...
