[ofa-general] OFED on Centos with 2.6.30.4 generic kernel

[Robert Dunkley]

I'm a bit of newbie to kernel building but work on my first custom
kernel seems to be going well so far. 

The issue I have is the systems this kernel is destined for are using
Mellanox infiniband cards, IPOIB (CM), RDMA and Subnet Manager (Systems
are direct cabled to each other). I noticed support seems to be built-in
to the kernel for all but the subnet manager. 

Should I use the built-in kernel support and install the Subnet manager
separately? Or build a kernel with no infiniband support and then try to
install OFED? Will OFED even likely install with this sort of setup?


Thanks,

Rob
