I've had a bugzilla turnkey VM running for a long time ... but recently it stopped responding. EC2 says it running, so I logged into it and rebooted it (shutdown -r now) so I could look at a clean start ... big mistake. Now it starts up but with some very odd system log messages which I've dumped below. And I can't SSH into it any more, and EC2 wont let me "Stop" ... only Reboot and Terminate.

Any ideas?  (Yes, I know, I'm running a very old turnkey VM, but I need to recover the data from it!!)
