Robin, Thankyou very much for helping with this.
I want to try kernel 2.6.25 or even 2.6.26. But its not a big deal, I just patched my distro kernel and everything seems to work well. I am hoping in the future lustre will become a deamon or a module instead of patching the actual kernel source code.
