Can you be more specific on what is considered a "late 1.4.X" version?
A version that came out around the same time the beta you're using came
out. In practice, much of the time our kernel patches and the Lustre
versions that work with them are quite forgiving. You might just try
building 1.5.97 against your 1.4.7-patched kernel -- the Lustre
configure script may very well do the right thing.

There should actually not be any difference between the patches between
a late 1.4.X and 1.6 -- we're trying to keep the kernel patches in
sync. So it's likely that you can just use a 1.4.x-patched kernel you
already have working, and build 1.6 against it.

So, I've been charged with testing 1.6 (well, 1.5.97) with the Cray XT3,
but I seem to be running into a problem. Utilizing lustre 1.4.7 based
patches, I can successfully build and run my own kernel outside of the
official Cray build process (if this seems like a trivial sentence, you
don't have the pleasure of using an XT3). The problem is when I go back
and utilize the lustre 1.5.97 patch set and build a kernel. It boots
just fine, but the ethernet devices (e1000 based) do not behave (for
instance, I can ping the node just fine, and it can mount NFS mounts just
fine, but if I attempt to access those NFS mounts the process will hang
indefinitely).
So, with this, I'm about to start the journey of looking through the
1.5.97 patches to see what might be giving me grief, but I was hoping
that someone smarter than I might have some insight on some things to
try.
Thanks...
