Hello,
today we have another pair of machine that does these reboots,
sometimes it did it every 5 minutes.
Right now I only have one VM running and disabled heartbeat,
it seems to work atm.
Can a faulty VM trigger this behaviour or is it heartbeat?

these are the packages that are installed,
i remember disabling the drbd82 package, which one should we prefer
and are both version compatible?
