You need the amso1100 openib kit from Open Grid Computing.  It contains
new firmware, a new bitfile/boot loader, and scripts to load the
firmware correctly before the openib driver loads. The kit is here:

http://www.opengridcomputing.com/downloads/ogc_amso_kit_20060308.tgz

You also need to uninstall the Ammasso software from the system.

Hope this helps.

Steve.
