There have been two similar reports in the last few days. The joining node is unable to discover the cluster information it needs to find the correct place to join. However there code appears to have checks in place to prevent that from happening.
If you have time can you please try to reproduce the fault ? * set logging to DEBUG on /etc/cassandra/log4j-server.properties * clear all files from /var/lib/cassandra/data/system * start the node I *think* if you restart the node it will work as it will used stored load data. But I'm unsure if it will bootstrap as that only happens once, you may want to run a repair.
