<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I am trying to remove ipoib module on SLES10 machine, it is not getting removed. I am using "modprobe -r ib_ipoib" command. This command is not giving me any error but if i do lsmod, i still see the module running. I have also tried rmmod.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please note that on RHEL4 up3 kernel, I am able to remove the module.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Attached below is the output. I have also attached output from /var/log/messages file below. Is it a bug in OFED or SLES ?</FONT></DIV>
