[Pacemaker] Installation woes (w/Debian packages)

Hi All,

in order to evaluate Pacemaker for our new cluster (the features shown
in "Configuration Explained" are exactly what we need, and miles
beyond what our old Heartbeat version 1-based cluster could do) I just
took two freshly installed Debian Lenny systems and tried to install
Pacemaker as per http://clusterlabs.org/wiki/Install and
http://clusterlabs.org/wiki/Initial_Configuration, once with heartbeat
and once with openais. Unfortunately both installations don't get even
half off the ground:

- The pacemaker-heartbeat installation, with "crm yes" in
/etc/ha.d/ha.cf, does not seem to start pacemaker, at least a crm_mon
just hangs trying to connect to the cluster (the documentation doesn't
give any hint on how to check), and a little bit later the machine
reboots with

Message from syslogd at cluster0 at Oct  5 16:06:49 ...
 heartbeat: [2821]: EMERG: Rebooting system.  Reason: /usr/lib/heartbeat/cib

- The pacemaker-openais installation, or the package dependencies, are
incomplete: There is no ais-keygen command, and no /etc/init.d/openais
script.

Can I expect more success installing from source? Which installation
method/instructions do people successfully use?

Thanks, Colin
