Hi Vladimir,

The four patches named below are what I'm using to get the OFED 1.2.5 
kernel to build for SLES9 SP4.

commit 3db835ee0edb792b120ba10c8066e3d4409de2d7

git://git.openfabrics.org/ofed_1_2/linux-2.6.git


The patches are:

[PATCH 1/4] LNXI changed ofed_scripts configure to select sp4 patches

[PATCH 2/4] LNXI created backport patch addr_8802_to_2_6_5-7_308

[PATCH 3/4] LNXI fixed backport/2.6.5_sles9_sp4/rds_to_2_6_9.patch

[PATCH 4/4] LNXI fixed backport/2.6.5_sles9_sp4/cxg3_to_2_6_20.patch


I've tested these on my cluster.

Note: I changed your patch to the ofed_scripts/configure script, so that 
even if the SLES9

kernel is greater than 309 it will not revert to using SP3 patches.
