Lustre discuss - Feb 2009 - Building 1.6.7 fails on SL5 with kernel 2.6.22.14

Hi all,
my goal is to build all lustre 1.6.7 RPMS from scratch on a customized  
vanilla kernel of mine
  to test it on a single machine (and then pass to production if  
things work).
During these days I''ve followed the instructions on
http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Lustre_Quick_Start#Building_Lustre_from_Source_Code
patching the kernel 2.6.22.14 (vanilla) with both lustre 1.6.6 and  
1.6.7 successfully;
it works fine on Scientific Linux 4 (see RHEL4 rebuilt from sources),  
using this kind of syntax:
./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.22.14 --with- 
kernel-source-header=/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.22.14 && make rpms

Now: I''ve used the same  procedure to build 1.6.7 on SL5 (RHEL5  
rebuilt from sources),
having this error while making:

/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/lustre-1.6.7/lustre/lvfs/lvfs_linux.c:530:2:  
error: #error rdonly patchset must be updated [cfs bz11248]
make[8]: *** [/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/lustre-1.6.7/lustre/lvfs/ 
lvfs_linux.o] Error 1

make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/lustre-1.6.7''
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.17974 (%build)

Summary: same kernel, same lustre, change distro: SLC4 -> SL5 => ERROR

Now I konw that someone has had similar problems in the past:
http://osdir.com/ml/file-systems.lustre.user/2007-07/msg00172.html
but that solution (commenting ifdefs) does not work for me; however,
if I understand, that would work for building just the client.

Any suggestions? Where could I be wrong?

Thank you,
best regards,
   Vincenzo

Can you please describe (or better yet, paste a transcript) of your
patching process?

This indicates that the kernel patch is either deficient or didn''t
apply
properly.  The transcript you provide above should help determine which.

I''ve restarted building from scratch, pacthing a fresh untarred  
kernel, and now it works.
So I suppose that it''s mandatory to make rpms immediately after  
patching...
Maybe some intermediate menuconfig has dirtied the three (I have to  
compile Openafs also, I will do after building Lustre).
A transcript follows, reporting also the output of quilt -av (which  
belongs to patching process you refer to), hope it can be generally  
useful.

Thank you for your (fast) suggestion!

Excellent.  I am glad you are up and going now.
