For the patched kernel?  That's not what the patched kernel's
version/release should be.

That's not right either.  For the patched kernel, the version-release
string should have "_lustre" embedded in it.

This is why we do embed "_lustre" into the version/release string.

I am looking at
kernel-lustre-default-base-2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1.x86_64.rpm right
now and I see modules being installed into:

/lib/modules/2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1-default

with firmware going into:

/lib/firmware/2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1-default

and with all of the /boot/ files named:

/boot/System.map-2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1-default
/boot/config-2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1-default
/boot/symsets-2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1-default.tar.gz
/boot/symtypes-2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1-default.gz
/boot/symvers-2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1-default.gz
/boot/vmlinux-2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1-default.gz
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1-default

Are you sure you are using the correct RPM(s)?  What does:

$ rpm -qip <file>.rpm

report about the RPM you are trying to install?  If it's a Sun built RPM
for the patches Lustre kernel for SLES11 it should say:
