I could try to post them if anybody would find that useful. I will write
all that down and attempt to post it coherently. Is there any way to
capture that kind of info to a file?

All I did was 'rpmbuild --rebuild GFS-6.0.0-1.2.src.rpm'

That created the following rpms:
GFS-6.0.0-1.2.x86_64.rpm
GFS-debuginfo-6.0.0-1.2.x86_64.rpm
GFS-devel-6.0.0-1.2.x86_64.rpm
GFS-modules-6.0.0-1.2.x86_64.rpm
GFS-modules-smp-6.0.0-1.2.x86_64.rpm

Of those, I have the following actually installed:

GFS-modules-smp-6.0.0-1.2
GFS-6.0.0-1.2


Do you have any build instructions for getting them to work properly?
Could something built into my running kernel cause this? I am building a
new kernel from source right now to see if the binary kernel rpm I used
had some sort of problem.

Could it be related to the HBA I am using as well?

Thanks!
