You need to have all devices necessary for mounting root file system compiled in the kernel (i.e. support for your disc controller, support for ext3 file system, as well as support for hard drives), not as modules. Debian config file does not include these as these are usually loaded from initrd. However, to make initrd working, Debian does some kernel patches which are not directly compatible with openMosix patch. If you want to save yourself some time, I have the kernel compiled for openMosix 2.4.24 and the tools package as well at http://element.math.uwaterloo.ca/~tvinar/openmosix/ You are welcome to use it.
