There is a warning message while doing "make SUBDIRS=scripts". Is there 
anything missing? Is there a way to work around the problem?

Subject: build and install lustre from source code -- warning on livcfs.ko for 
no modversions

I built and installed Lustre from source. When I installed built 
luster-modules- RPM, I got libcfs.ko from the kernel-2.6.18-prep has no 
modversions (the message is posted below), so it cannot be reused for kernel. 
Is there any procedure I need to do during the build? There is 
include/config/modversion.h under patched kernel, but the file does not have 
any contens and its size is 0.

Thanks for your help.

Here were messages when I installed RPM:
