Check all the necessary paths. If the processes cannot write to their
respective dirs they refuse to start and if pacemaker cannot start all
the necessary processes, the node is rebooted. At least you know now
that pacemaker is actually started :)
If you see no errors, reconfigure your syslog to allow more messages.
Usually, these are created when doing a "make install"
