Usually this means that the BProc module didn't load correctly on the
slave node.  I would check that the bproc module is actually on the
boot image.  You can gunzip and loop back mount the initrd image to
look.  If it's not there, then make sure there's a vmadump.o and
bproc.o that matches the kernel you're using in the appropriate
modules directory in /lib/modules/.  If it is there, make sure it
actually loads properly on the kernel you're using.

Just in case: the "beoboot" kernel is for phase 1 *ONLY*.  It does not
support BProc.  You should probably use the same kernel that you're
running on your front end.
