I downloaded the latest stable vanilla kernel and did a recompile using
"make oldconfig" and my 2.6.9 config.  I then built the drbd kernel
modules against the new kernel.

It looks like the new .8 DRBD code requires a feature of newer kernels
that is absent from 2.6.9.  I don't remember what the feature was.

I now have .8pre4 running in a test environment in a primary/slave
configuration, but haven't had a found the time to setup a dual primary
configuration yet.
