If you are using the initscripts, the optional "nodeid" parameter  
becomes mandatory.  (The nodeid is a unique integer for each cluster  
node.)  That is, your cluster.conf file would change as follows:
....
<clusternode name="node1" votes="1">
...
becomes:
...
<clusternode name="node1" votes="1" nodeid="1">
...

I use this optional argument in my RHEL4 setups already.

If you are not using the init scripts, then there are some additional  
daemons that you need to start.  See,
