Back in college (90’s), we had a Solaris shop. One time after a long power outage we discovered that we couldn’t bring up the system because of a circular dependency.

It’s been decades, something along the lines of a NIS server depending on a file server and vice-versa. We managed to manually get the services running and then do a clean reboot after the rest of the systems came up.
