Note that this kind of question should only go to the lustre-discuss mailing list, not lustre-announce (which is reserved for new releases and other low-volume messages).

We don't build/ship Lustre modules for the KVM kernel, so the modules are likely not loading due to kernel symbol version mismatches.  You will need to build your own Lustre kernel modules for this kernel, using the process described on the Lustre wiki.
