<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Short of uninstalling the OFED-1.0 release,
how can I stop the Infiniband related kernel modules from loading
at system boot? </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am trying to debug a problem with
programs hanging in the kernel, so I thought that I would try manually
loading the modules one at a time to see if I could isolate the problem.
This is on a RHEL4 U3 system with the 2.6.16 kernel and the OFED-1.0
release installed.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> I used "/sbin/chkconfig"
to turn off the "openibd" and "opensmd" services
in the </font><font size=2><tt>/etc/rc.d/</tt></font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
runlevel files. I even removed "ifcfg-ib0" and "ifcfg-ib1"
from the </font><font size=2><tt>/etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts</tt></font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
directory. I don't see any other scripts that would cause these modules
to be loaded. But every time I reboot, I get the following modules
loaded, according to /sbin/lsmod:</font>
