Mike,
I think I got a glimpse of the error message - something like "persistent storage not
available" after I tried to login with the new passwd.
Does this make sense?

You can try booting with "BOOTIF=eth0 ssh_pwauth=1" in the command line.
This will configure networking and enable SSH password authentication.
Then you can ssh admin@<your host> and it will show you the error.

I'm using
git://github.com/primalmotion/Node.git
The only differences I see between the 2 are some minor formatting and
conditional changes in recipe/Makefile.am and a couple patches that were
pushed since the github repo was updated. These patches are all on the
gerrit.ovirt.org side.
Note: there is an incompatible change that was merged into master this
morning. I'm working on a rebase of the archipel stuff now to include it.
