HP formally only tests the original kernels delivered with the OS.
You should just try it if you no longer need formal support from HP.

Nearly all of the folks I know doing 2.6 linux kernel developement are
either using RHEL 3.0, a future release of SLES, or (most likely) Debian.

Can you post details?

Sorry - since I run debian "testing" release, I'm not exposed to this kind
of problems. I expect the RHEL update service would avoid them too.
But one wouldn't get a 2.6 kernel yet with that either.

Can you add "V=1" parameter so we can see the commands?
