Actually, I sent an email about this yesterday:

I think you are hitting the same Facter bug that I did with EL4.
Essentially, Facter hangs trying to read /proc/uptime and /proc/
virtual (on my XenU guests). You should try the new Facter 1.5.5 RC1
which has the fixes for these to see if that resolves the problem.

I actually had to manually fix all my servers because Puppet had
stopped working. Also, when upgrading Facter, make sure you restart
Puppet (if you''re running a daemon), otherwise you can also run into
problems I''ve discovered.

cYa,
