wow.... I'm having a conversation with myself here :P

Anyway -- here's the fix:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2_3.html

It is a *known issue* with the 10.2.0.1 install...

To quote the article:

"This issue is specific to Oracle 10.2.0.1 (noted in bug 4437727) and needs to be resolved before continuing. The easiest workaround is to re-run vipca (GUI) manually as root from the last node in which the error occurred. Please keep in mind that vipca is a GUI and will need to set your DISPLAY variable accordingly to your X server:"

... so plain english...

Log in as root to the X Server and run $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/vipca and hit next ... type in your first node's VIP hostname / alias and then it'll automatically populate everything -- hit next again ... it installs... rerun the postint script and presto -- everything works... move on to install the actual Oracle DB software.
