Hi Jeff

   This should be fine.

This is an old firmware.  Can you update to 2.6.100 or 2.7.0?

This also could be an issue ... the 2.6.18 kernel is ancient.  Of course 
with the Lustre patches, you might not be able to use a more modern 
kernel.  1.8.x Lustre might allow you to update the kernel.  I don't 
know if 1.5 OFED works with Lustre just yet.  Which OFED stack are you 
using?
