<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
<br>
OFED has been tested against RPM-based distributions only. In the
recent OFED developer workshop, there was a discussion about
supporting Debian-based distro. So the answer to your question 'is
OFED 3.5.1 compatible with Ubuntu' is there is no testing done
with Ubuntu. Currently the OFED support on Ubuntu is the same as
what have been pushed upstream (Debian). I put together a list of
packages in OFED 3.5 and compared the version of those found in 4
Ubuntu releases, from 11.10 to 13.04. It can be downloaded here: <a
href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OFED">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OFED</a><br>
<br>
As you pointed out the infiniband PPA from Roland Dreier, Narayan
Desai from Argnonne National Lab also packaged some for Ubuntu.
After my presentation at the OFED developer workshop last month, I
created a launchpad project and team with the goal to be the place
for people to share the packages with the Ubuntu community <a
href="https://launchpad.net/%7Eofa-ofed">https://launchpad.net/~ofa-ofed</a>.
The idea is it would be great if all packages in the OFED are
available in the Debian universe repo, but if it takes too long to
get in Debian, here is the place to get it. If any (packaging)
issues are found, the burden of fixing can be shared with the
community. I have started working with Prof. DK Panda from Ohio
State U. and Intel PSM team. As a Ubuntu community member, I am
interested in helping/facilitating the support of those packages
for Ubuntu. If you are looking for the blessing on OFED and
Ubuntu, IMHO it should come from the OFED EWG. <br>

P.S. I am an unfortunate owner of HP blade switch with
QLogic mezzanine cards which are so crappy, it's unreal!<br>
<br>
I've tried to get them working so many different ways on
many linux distros and it seems that they only work on
CentOS/RHEL. That's is why I have to stick with CentOS for
the time being as I am an Ubuntu guy.<br>
<br>
I've just tried Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 with
infiniband PPA from Roland Dreier and I just can't get
this card to work. I've got Mellanox cards working
perfectly well with the same set of tools. Perhaps it's
another post which I will make shortly.<br>
<br>
By the way, is OFED 3.5.1 compatible with Ubuntu? If so,
what version has it been tested with?<br>

You are aware that that kernel has a trivial local root
hole, right?<br>
<br>
CentOS-6.4 has a quite recent integrated ib-stack so
most people won't have to <br>
install OFED though...<br>
