Can't Geonode be configured to use the data from Geoserver which in turn
uses Postgres database?

Yes, it can. There is a script included with GeoNode which will register
all layers in GeoServer with the GeoNode front end (allowing them to appear
in search results, have layer info pages, have permissions assigned, etc.)
However, the GeoNode web interface itself can only configure geotiff and
shapefiles right now, so you should configure the postgresql/postgis layers
"manually" by bypassing the GeoNode web interface and going straight to
GeoServer.

Well, there are actually three places that data may be stored for a GeoNode
site - there's a database that the Django frontend uses to store all of the
data that it uses, storage for the GeoServer data and configuration, and
storage for the GeoNetwork CSW application. While GeoServer can access data
stored in various databases, the metadata (title, style, etc.) must be
stored on the filesystem. Additionally, GeoNode currently can't use
Postgres to store uploaded data, so layers configured through the GeoNode
upload form will be Shapefiles/GeoTIFFs (also stored on the file system.)
For GeoNetwork and the Django-based frontend, the database in use is just a
matter of configuration. I would recommend using PostgresQL for these. We
hope to allow the upload form to import to PostgresQL in the future, so this
would simplify your configuration later.
