My co-workers found the problem late last night. It seems that the network connection has a name like: private.

When installing the RAC they wrote: Private (capital first latter). It worked fine in 10.2.0.3.
Oracle did more severe error checking and they failed in 10.2.0.4 with the last CPU because the first letter was 'P' instead of 'p'. No log or error message to let you know.

BTW - They first tried to change the name of the network connection but it was restored after boot.
They got from Oracle support a command to change the name in Oracle configuration file, so it will match.
