Hi Michael:

   I had tried 1.8.5 against the newer kernels and ran into problems. 
So I pursued using the updated bits.

   For our successful build, I used the updated Centos 5.6 kernel, and 
the git repository.  You can pull our build from here: 
http://download.scalableinformatics.com/lustre/1.8git_build/ if you 
wish.  Customers are using it, and so far, its looking pretty good.

   Regards,

Joe
