[openib-general] problems with loading ib_mthca

Hi,

I am in between of setting up a small, 2 node environment for testing
openib.

I've got two machines (Sun V20z, Dual Opteron 248), with a 23108 (128MB)
Tavor card each. Both systems were running IBGD previous (without major
problems)

While I got everything working on one machine (based on 2.6.12.5 and a
svn checkout Aug, 23rd), the very same kernel fails to load ib_mthca on
the other machine. 

Logs:

ib_mad: Unknown parameter `ib_outs_mad_recv_entries'
ib_mthca: Unknown symbol ib_unregister_mad_agent
ib_mthca: Unknown symbol ib_post_send_mad
ib_mthca: Unknown symbol ib_register_mad_agent

The following odd difference of both machine's 'lspci -vv' output looks
suspicious:

The working one has pin A routed to IRQ 28, the faulty one to IRQ 10.
As both machines are essentially the same (including BIOS etc.), I don't
know what's wrong here. 


Maybe someone at openib has a clue.

cheers.
