<P><FONT SIZE=2>I see. So I should have never renamed my kernel from 2.6.18.8 to 2.6.18.8-el5_x86. So this will install once I rename my kernel back to 2.6.18.8?<BR>

Thanks for the info.<BR>

Jeff,<BR>
If you named the kernel from kernel.org in 2.6.18-*el5* manner then the<BR>
backport patches for RedHat 5.0 will be applied by OFED-1.2. This is the<BR>
reason of your failures.<BR>
<BR>
So, to fix this rename you kernel and then you can install OFED-1.2 with<BR>
ipath and ipoib.<BR>
