I'm confused by the statement: "We don't support 2.6.18 yet". Do you mean all distos of 2.6.18 or only specific ones? The 1.5.95 tarball has series files and patches for 2.6.18.

We don't support 2.6.18 yet, but you can find fixes in a previous thread on this list. (If configure finds a kernel that does not have the lustre patches, it tries to build the patchless client configuration.)
