Possible updates-testing problem for F13 this morning

I updated several of my machines this morning and after rebooting on of
the to try a kernel update (from koji) that machine starting rebooting
after about 1 minute of uptime.

This is making it hard to diagnose the problem.

The machines that I haven't rebooted yet continue to work.

Using older kernels (including one know to work) doesn't prevent the problem.

Booting to levels 1 and 3 didn't help.

There is a new error during udev start up mentioning watchdog.

I grabbed /var/log/messages and didn't see any indication of a problem or
the reboot before the reboot occured.

A dbus update seems to be the most likely culprit. But there isn't enough
time to do a downgrade before a reboot occurs.

My next step is to try a rescue or live image boot and go in and do a
yum downgrade from that.

I haven't seen any scary bodhi comments yet.

I'll report back in a little while, after I do some more recovery work.
