<tt>Yeah. I heard of this bug.</tt><br>

<br>
<tt>Even after reboot, service openibd is not started automatically.</tt><br>
<tt>[root@xblade06 ~]# chkconfig --list openibd</tt><br>
<tt>openibd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>I agree with you that maybe some modules were not loaded. But what's that?</tt><br>
<tt>Before reboot, I run "</tt><tt>/etc/init.d/openibd start</tt><tt>" and "/etc/init.d/network</tt><br>
<tt>restart". No error was reported. "openibd status" also looked good.</tt><br>

<br>
<tt>kudzu is installed.</tt><br>
<tt>[root@xblade06 ~]# rpm -q kudzu</tt><br>
