These were lab issues indeed, I've resubmitted the 3 failing jobs
and they all passed.  It looks like there was a glitch in the lab
network, we'll investigate and try to prevent this from occurring
again.

Also it would be nice if infrastructure failures could be
detected, clearly if the "power on" command returns an error or
if the bootloader fails to get an IP address we know it's not
because of a kernel problem.  Something to discuss or add to the
backlog I guess.
