There is now a patch that is required. It wasn't there before. All this patch does is export the panic_on_oops symbol. cluster/gfs-kernel/patches/2.6.9/00006.patch You can either apply the patches to the kernel, or apply 00006.patch and build the modules from their source dirs. Both ways should work. I said a few weeks back that I forget to update the lock_gulm.patch when I make changes to the module's code sometimes. Ken is much better at keeping his patches uptodate. And in either case, you can always make new ones with the make files in the source dirs for the modules. (peek at the Makefile, you need to have the kernel source in the right place for the make patches command to work.)
