Lustre developers only support vanilla 2.6.22.x ish (iirc). I don't think they've tried pushing forward the support to newer vanilla kernels. I think its about time for them to push forward their support for newer kernels. I'm sure the lustre package maintainers for debian would appreciate the effort. They do have patch sets for 2.6.23 but I'm unsure how stable they really are.
However, with my repository you should be able to install the pvfs-source then use module-assistant to build the pvfs client against the lustre kernel. So, something like: apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22.19-lustre-amd64 pvfs-source m-a a-i -k 2.6.22.19-lustre-amd64 pvfs (the dependencies for pvfs-source should pull down module-assistant and module-assistant if called like above should auto pull down the kernel headers to build against also).
