Two minor things to check:
1) was lustre built against the kernel that is currently being run?
   modprobe will look into /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel to find them.
   You could try running "strace modprobe portals" to see what it is
   doing.
2) are you running lconf from within a lustre source tree?  It has a
   "developer" mode where it tries to load modules from within the
   source tree.

I''ve having trouble getting lconf to come up on our cluster.  I tried 
using the example scripts (as well as my own), and lconf returns the same 
error every time: 
! modprobe (error 255)
>modprobe: Can''t locate module portals. 
I''ve installed lustre successfully from RPM with no errors, so I assume
everything is working.  I also tried compiling from source, with no luck 
as no matter how I attempt to compile, it fails on files that are present, 
but it does not find.  Any help?  Thank you in advance.
