The mercurial tree is compatable with 2.6.15, 2.6.16, and all other 
VANILLA kernels since 2.6.10, maybe even earlier.....

The problem is that you are using a kernel that has 2.6.16 code in it, 
but it is reporting that it is 2.6.15.  This causes a failure in our 
kernel version tests, and this is the reason why build fails for you.

You are not using a VANILLA kernel.

Now, some non-vanilla kernels will work... but this one doesnt because 
of the situation described above.

HTH,
