[ovirt-users] Can't restart hosted-engine installation: vdsm did not start

[gregor]

Because the server has to be finished and shipped to my customer I
decided to reinstall the whole operating-system.
This is a very bad solution but after 20 hours of try-and-error I have
to find any solution.

Thanks for your help.

cheers
