[ofa-general] Trouble installing OFED1.2-rc3 ib-bonding with kernel2-6.18-8.1.4.el5

[Jeffrey Wong]

Is there a workaround for this problem?  Will there be a patch to the
current release?  Will this be fixed in the next release?
Thanks,

Jeff

Why mix in non-el5 kernels? 2.6.18-2747 and similar are beta kernels (fc

naming left-over) and stuff with fc6 in it is clearly not el5. Update
kernels 
for el5 (before el5u1) should be named 2.6.18-8.x.y.el5, so 
maybe: "2.6.18-8.*el5"?
