[ofa-general] ***SPAM*** manually patching/installing ofed kernel

[Mike Marty]

I am running a Ubuntu-based system.  Trying to use the install script,
invoked with "sudo perl install.pl", fails with the errors pasted below.
I previously compiled and installed a vanilla 2.6.26 kernel.  Is there any
documentation on manually integrating the ofed kernel modifications?  I
installed the ofa_kernel-1.4 SRPM and see that the ofa_kernel-1.4 directory
in /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES contains a mix of files, patches for older kernels,
and a Makefile.  Presumeably I can't just copy these into my kernel source
and go.  Eventually I will need to integrate the ofa_kernel stuff with a
custom Linux kernel tree, but for now, I am just trying to use a vanilla
kernel.

Thank you,
Mike
