[ofa-general] Re: Trouble installing OFED1.2 with kernel

[Jeffrey Wong]

So to disable ipath I should go into build_env.sh and comment out the
following lines in order to disable ipath correct?

 

#ib_ipath)

                    #    case ${ARCH} in

                    #        x86_64|ppc64)

                    #            case ${K_VER} in

                    #

                    #                OFA_KERNEL_PACKAGES=$(echo
"$OFA_KERNEL_PACKAGES ib_verbs ib_ipath" | tr -s ' ' '\n' | sort -n |
uniq)

                    #                OFA_PACKAGES=$(echo "$OFA_PACKAGES
kernel-ib" | tr -s ' ' '\n' | sort -n | uniq)

                    #                ll_driver=${ll_driver:-"ib_ipath"}

                    #            ;;

                    #            *)

                    #                if [ "$prog" == "build.sh" ]; then

                    #                    warn_echo IPATH is not
supported by this kernel

                    #                fi

                    #            ;;

                    #            esac

                    #        ;;

                    #        *)

                    #            if [ "$prog" == "build.sh" ]; then

                    #                warn_echo PathScale InfiniPath host
channel adapters low level driver supports only a x86_64 architecture

                    #            fi

                    #        ;;

                    #    esac

                    #;;

 

Thanks,

Jeff

No, this is a kernel driver for ipath hardware, ibverbs
is a hardware agnositic userspace library.

Donnu, there should be something in the menu to customise it further.
