[ofa-general] OFED build problems on Centos 5.2

[Robert Dunkley]

Hi Cameron,

A similar problem happened to me. Centos installs a very slightly newer
*.1.6 kernel when you install the kernel source. Have you double checked
that the header/devel kernel module exactly matches the actual kernel
version you are running ? (uname -r) If they don't quite match then try
updating the older one and OFED will hopefully then install fine. If you
are using Xen don't forget to upgrade the Xen kernel too.

Rob

Hi Cameron,
Check that you have kernel-devel-2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 RPM installed.

Do you have /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.6.el5/build link?

Regards,
Vladimir
