Here is what I have done to try and get it working on this box:

lustrethree:~/Desktop # rpm -ivh kernel-lustre-smp-2.6.16-60_0.27_lustre.1.6.6.x86_64.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

        package lustre-1.6.6-2.6.16.60_0.27_lustre.1.6.6_smp is already installed

First have to solve for the dependency.  Downloaded from http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/10.3/x86_64/db43-4.3.29-59.x86_64.html
for future reference.

lustrethree:~/Desktop # rpm -ivh db43-4.3.29-59.x86_64.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:db43                   ########################################### [100%]
lustrethree:~/Desktop # rpm --force -Uvh e2fsprogs-1.40.11.sun1-0suse.sles10.x86_64.rpm

Reboot and cross fingers.

After doing a mkinitrd and rebooting I still fail to load the lustre openSuse 10.3 kernel.  It fails when asking:

Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA y/n

I have tried editing my fstab and menu.lst file.  Is there anything else I must edit?

lustrefour:~ # cat /etc/fstab

I would try an "mkinitrd".
