Hi Liang, Are there any plans to release something like the ibvers.sh script with Lustre? I think that having an easy automated workaround, even if it is a hack, is better then having none. Even just some documentation about the problem would be helpful I think. From what I can tell, the extra Module.symvers functionality was added in kernel 2.6.17, so this bug not only affects RHEL4 but also SLES10. I'm glad to know it is a known issue though, and I am not just crazy :-)
