Assuming you have entries like this in your /etc/hosts file:

  # Oracle VIP Addresses

192.168.1.11 vipalpha1.psoug.org vipalpha1
192.168.1.12 vipalpha2.psoug.org vipalpha2
192.168.1.21 vipbeta1.psoug.org vipbeta1
192.168.1.22 vipbeta2.psoug.org vipbeta2
192.168.1.31 vipgamma1.psoug.org vipgamma1
192.168.1.32 vipgamma2.psoug.org vipgamma2
192.168.1.41 vipdelta1.psoug.org vipdelta1
192.168.1.42 vipdelta2.psoug.org vipdelta2

192.168.1.13 vipalpha3.psoug.org vipalpha3
192.168.1.14 vipalpha4.psoug.org vipalpha4
192.168.1.23 vipbeta3.psoug.org vipbeta3
192.168.1.24 vipbeta4.psoug.org vipbeta4
192.168.1.33 vipgamma3.psoug.org vipgamma3
192.168.1.34 vipgamma4.psoug.org vipgamma4
192.168.1.43 vipdelta3.psoug.org vipdelta3 192.168.1.44 vipdelta4.psoug.org vipdelta4

I would point you to the two tools Oracle includes with 10.2 to help diagnose such issues:

crstat
and, of course,

$ cd /stage/clusterware/cluvfy
$ $CRS_HOME/bin/cluvfy stage -pre crsinst -n omega1,omega2 –verbose
$ $CRS_HOME/bin/cluvfy stage -pre dbinst -n omega1,omega2 –verbose
$ cluvfy comp ocr -n all -verbose

substituting your node names for omega1 and omega2
