Hrm.  Does the Suse-supplied kernel boot those machines or does it have
the same problems?  I just want to isolate whether this is a problem
unique to our kernel build or whether it's a problem with the upstream
(Suse supplied) kernel.

What do you do differently than is being done by our build?  Do you
change anything in the source-tree before you build?  Probably it would
be great to have a complete transcript of what you do once you have
downloaded the kernel-lustre-source package from our download site.

Indeed.  In fact rather than copying what could be some very copious
data to this list, can you open a bug in our bugzilla and report back
here for me (and the rest of the readers) what the ticket number is?

Unfortunately it was not enough.  Once you have opened the ticket as per
above, please attach the complete Makefile.
