+Lustre can currently build against Red Hat 2.4 and SuSE 2.6
+kernel-source RPMs.  All other kernel-source RPMs are *unsupported* at
+this time.
 
 Note that a Lustre-patched kernel is required for building Lustre; in
 most cases a kernel-source RPM from your Linux vendor will not contain
 the necessary patches.
