<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have used the OFED-1.3 software to communicate with the
current cards I have. These cards come up as “MT23108” in the
logs, and I am not sure whom the manufacturer is. I was able to program
the cards, and even install MPICH2 and run tests.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have recently obtained new IB cards from HP “<b><span
style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>HP PCI-X 2-port 4X
Fabric (HPC) Adapter” <a
href="http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?lang=en&cc=id&prodTypeId=12883&prodSeriesId=460713&lang=en&cc=id">http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?lang=en&cc=id&prodTypeId=12883&prodSeriesId=460713&lang=en&cc=id</a>
</span></b><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>and
these cards do not work the same. The machine boots up fine with the card
in, and shows the card as Mellanox “MT23108” also? The two
cards are visibly different in every way. Is the MT23108 a certain
platform for IB? I am new to the entire IB technology. This is the
history of what I did. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]>When I reboot, the machine reaches “UDEV”
of the reboot stage, hangs for a little bit, and then many errors show and the
machine won’t boot, unless I take the card out. If I uninstall the
OFED software, it will reboot fine with the card still in. The card from
HP giving me problems, does not appear to have any drivers for it. It
looks like HP supports it to work on Windows, and HPUX. <o:p></o:p></p>
