Kernel on OM nodes

We've been having a conversation here locally about 'mixing' kernels on 
OpenMosix nodes. We have 5 slightly different machines in our cluster 
(Dell 1850, SC1425, 2600, 6600, and IBM Blades). All run 32 bit Intel 
processors of slightly varying types. At the moment I have precisely the 
same kernel binary (Debian 2.4.27 kernel + OM) on almost all the nodes, 
but a few have another compilation from the same sources, but a slightly 
different configuration.

I've been told you must have precisely the same kernel binary on every 
OM node.  I claim all you need a kernel made from the same kernel 
sources, perhaps made with slightly different config files. As long as 
the OM settings are the same, we're OK.

What's the truth?
