Yes, I was using RHEL5 x86_64 packages. FWIW I did go and compile the
kernel after installing the src.rpm, via rpmbuild -bb kernel-2.6.spec.
This appeared to apply a lot of patches, but didn't create any rpms
with lustre in their name, so presumably there's an extra step required
somewhere along the way.
I stopped pursuing this when I realised for the purposes of compiling
drivers, what I really needed was to install
kernel-lustre-devel-2.6.18-128.1.14.el5_lustre.1.8.1.x86_64.rpm
I also had to resolve a header file conflict to get myri10ge driver to
build, for which I hacked its check_headers.sh script to inspect
include/linux/inet_lro.h and set MYRI10GE_HAVE_WSUM appropriately.
