It appears that what is happening on this one is that the 
/etc/init.d/openibd script is failing because the ipath driver
is not loading, which is expected in rc2 as their latest patches are not
in rc2, If I disable loading of the ipath driver in 
/etc/infiniband/openib.conf
the script continues and loads rdma_cm and rdma_ucm.

The question is, if a driver like the ipath driver fails to load,
should the script go on anyway and load the other drivers like
rdma_cm/rdma_ucm ?
or is it best to leave it as it is. Anyway, once the ipath driver is
fixed,
this issue should go away.
