The problem might be that you're mixing 2.6.18-128.* with 2.6.18-164.*, if you stick with versions 2.6.18-128.* you should be fine. At least this is working for our patchless clients: [r...@client001 ~] # rpm -qa | grep -e lustre -e kernel | sort kernel-headers-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 lustre-client-1.8.1.1-2.6.18_164.el5xen_01 lustre-client-modules-1.8.1.1-2.6.18_164.el5xen_01 We're using virtual machines so lustre modules are compiles for kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.el5 but those exact same modules worked fine with kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 and kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 and now with kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 Regards, -- Ricardo J.
