Can't think of anything based on what you say here. Whenever I had issues,
they seemed to stem from something minor at boot which could get cured via
	$ /etc/init.d/openmosix stop
	$ /etc/init.d/openmosix start
on the nodes. But as you see everything in "green" on openmosixview, that
doesn't seem to be called for.

I would take this to the openmosix list.
