Hi Jeff,

The asm directory is now located in arch/powerpc/include. I have been testing
the daily builds of OFED 1.4.1 against a 2.6.27 vanilla kernel on powerpc (the
ehca driver only works on powerpc platforms). That worked fine so far. Can you
please send me the package you try to build on SLES11 so that I can recreate
this here?

Anyway, thanks for looking into the SLES11 backports, I will be happy to test
them with ehca when they are integrated into the daily builds.

Regards,
Alex
