Content-wise they should be the same, but a dependent node uses a
different copy than the master node.

Are you booting the master node with the default stanza in lilo.conf?
That's the kernel and ramdisk that a dependent node uses. Try checking
this.

Also try running cluster_lilo again. It will rebuild the
/tftpboot/vmlinuz image that a dependent node downloads to get its
kernel and ramdisk.

Come to think of it, this value should be set correctly. Otherwise you
wouldn't be able to boot the master node.
