Thanks for all of the quick replies. I am happy to try 2.6.22. Redhat kernels don't work for me (or at least, debugging their problems isn't worth the effort). However, if I patch a 2.6.22 kernel from CVS, wont I have to be using the CVS tree for the latest Lustre dev version? IE I cannot just use the patches against 1.6.4.2 because I would be dealing with the same problem as before (autogen.sh).
