Yes, if you compile for an AMD and put it on a K6 I can
see where it would break. But shouldn't it work if you
compile each machine for itself - that is on the 486 you
install Gentoo with 486 optimization, the AMD gets it's
own optimization, etc. A cluster isn't much use if it has
to have all identical hardware.

I have a 486 here that works just fine in my cluster...

Hm. Do you have archives of the openmosix mailing list?
it has been discussed few times. It is very unstable to
migrate apps. with specific CPU flags on another node
with processor that does NOT support these flags.
just a quote from Michael Imhov:
"As gentoo optimizes all packages to these flags it is
very bad if e.g. a
gcc-process that was started on the athlon is migrated to
the k6-2 as it
breaks due to not supported flags."
and I can confirm that - apps. migrated from AMD Duron do
not work very well on PII.
