reboot failure

[Jim Tarvid]

I have a headless server 325 miles away. About 20 to 25% of my remote
reboots fail. The last one has the following log entries:

Jul 28 09:15:25 helen kernel: [3418711.388534] init:
plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (9758) terminated with status 1
Jul 28 09:15:25 helen kernel: [3418711.388560] init:
plymouth-upstart-bridge main process ended, respawning
... repeats 21 times

Jul 28 06:25:55 helen rsyslogd: message repeated 45 times: [ [origin
software="rsyslogd" swVersion="7.4.4" x-pid="854" x-info="
http://www.rsyslog.com"] rsyslogd was HUPed]
Jul 28 09:15:25 helen rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd"
swVersion="7.4.4" x-pid="854" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] exiting on
signal 15.

Is this a plymouth problem or rsyslogd?

What should I do to improve the odds of a successful reboot?
