As you are rather far along, you should run /opt/oscar/scripts/start_over at
least before running install_cluster again, if not reinstalling Mandrivia.
start_over is fairly good these days, so that should be sufficient.
I have never used Mandrivia before, but I do not think the two packages are
the same. It is possible, since I don't really know what the purpose of
libaio package is either. I know things break if its not installed, thats
all :)
My guess if you poke around the internet you can find a libaio package for
mandrivia but I don't know where they would be (since I don't use it).

Ok.
I did not find the libaio package in my distribution what I found was
this:
"libao2-0.8.5-4mdk.i586.rpm"
Is this the same package you were referring to?
Regarding the use of a fully qualified hostname (marsu.oscardomain in my
case). I did that and then I ran the oscar installation program again, but
step 8 still cannot be completed. Should I uninstall oscar first, before
running the command "./install_cluster eth1"?.
thanks.

It also appears you are missing the libaio package which is a prerequisite
and is probably on the distribution CDs (and therefore probably in your
/tftpboot directory already). This has been popping up a fair bit lately,
so I am not sure why we didn't see it in beta testing. You may be using a
different setup than the testers for Mandrivia. We should probably post the
testing matrix, including distro and used package sets where applicable.
