You have gotten lustre to build and run with 2.6.18.8? I tried doing that on
etch with no luck. I applied the same patches, and lustre would build but
would not run. I didn't have time to work on it so I just repackaged SUSE
kernels and source. I really will need to get to a >2.6.18 kernel in the
next month when we get our new Infiniband cluster in. If you don't mind,
keep me posted if you run into any troubles. I will try to disable quilt and
rebuild lustre (about the only step you did differently).
