I'm not there anymore but we had 10.1 RAC running on non-US windows (pretty sure it was 2003 - it was UK english) quite happily at my last place - that was on HP hardware, though not the ones you mention I think. PRKR-1008 is a cluster services related error, worth putting into metalink if it is up today. You can also as Daniel suggests run CLUVFY. failing that setting an environment variable SRVM_TRACE=TRUE before running srvctl (or presumably dbca as well) will result in a TON of diagnostic messages, you may find something useful in there. I'd probably also try srvctl config nodeapps -n <machine_name> on the member nodes to see what is and isn't running.
