For those of you who reported issues with the appliance booting and 
seeming like a postgres connection problem, this was the reason.  Here's 
what happened for future reference:

syntax error in ovirt.pp caused /etc/init.d/ace to fail during appliance 
firstboot configuration

This prevented the ovirt-server-install script from running which sets up 
the database, and then failures cascaded from there

It's important when writing patches to test the build process end to end 
including building an appliance and testing major functionality to make 
sure no regressions are introduced.

To diagnose this problem I simply looked at the log files in:
/var/log/ace
