Ammand,

The openMosix help documents clearly tell us that you must use a kernel
with the same release AND patch number. So openmosix-2.X.Y must
be applied as a patch to a linux-2.X.Y kernel.

So presently the highest cvs openmosix version is 2.6.15-beta, thus YOU
MUST have a linux-2.6.15 series kernel. You were correct to ditch
your customized distro kernel and rebuild a kernel from the vanilla
kernel.org sources (e.g., grab a linux-2.6.15.x.tar.gz source tarball).

You MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT want to use openmosix-2.4.x against any 2.6
kernel! That's just inviting disaster.

PS.

I found that 'hardened-openmosix-2.6.17' runs nicely patched against a
linux-2.6.17-3 kernel.
