Hrm.  Why are you dealing with source files?  Does our already-built
binary kernel RPMs not suit your environment for some reason?

The first is a source rpm which is built using the rpmbuild command.

Yes.

Well, just the /lib/modules/2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1-default/source
symlink so this is really quite irrelevant.  It's
the /usr/src/linux-2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1 tree that you are
interested in.

Can you tell me what the first 10 lines
of /usr/src/linux-2.6.27.29-0.1_lustre.1.8.1.1-obj/x86_64/default/Makefile say?  You might need to adjust some of those lines to make the version say what you want it to say.

But most definitely, things are a lot easier if you can use our binary
RPM packages.  I'd be interested in knowing why they are not suitable
for you.

That should be fine.
