You should not (have to) use --force. If you do, there is either an operational error or a bug in our packages. In the latter case, please file a bug in our bugzilla. > rpm -ivh > lustre-modules-1.6.5.1-2.6.9_67.0.7.EL_lustre.1.6.5.1smp.x86_64.rpm # > (many "unknown symbol" warnings) Can you paste them here? > rpm -ivh > lustre-ldiskfs-3.0.4-2.6.9_67.0.7.EL_lustre.1.6.5.1smp.x86_64.rpm # > (many "unknown symbol" warnings) Ditto. > rpm -ivh --force > kernel-ib-1.3-2.6.9_67.0.7.EL_lustre.1.6.5.1smp.x86_64.rpm Again, you should not need to use --force. > We then reboot the system and load RHEL using the Lustre kernel.

I really wonder why you need 1.3.1 though. > * Lustre supplied kernel, Lustre software. No IB. MDS/MGS file > system. FAILED. Failed in what way? > * Lustre supplied kernel, Lustre software, RDAC.
