A snippet of my "failed" installation can be found here: http://pastebin.com/8WzV1Ayn I'd like to ask for help as to how to resolve this issue. My searches so far did not yield enough information for me to successfully solve this on my own. What I am doing lately was to boot to my stable kernel (3.16.0-38), copy its config to .config as directed from the tutorial. Compile the kernel and install (sudo make modules_install install). The end result are as indicated on the pastebin link. Even booting from my last-known working "latest" kernel (rc5) yields the same result. I reviewed the config and the lustre components were selected as modules. It worked without a hitch before so I'm puzzled as to why the said modules are in dependency cycles now. I also did "make clean" and recompiled from scratch, still no dice. Thank you in advance, Eva
