[Brian M. Rzycki]

Hi guys,

I tried to install OFED 1.4.2 rc2 this morning and here's what I saw.

Distibution:  CentOS 5.3
CPU type:     x86_64
Linux kernel: 2.6.30

OFED tarball: OFED-1.4.2-rc2.tgz

# ./install.pl -- 2,3

I just successfully compiled OFED-1.5-20090717-0600 on this machine so  
I don't think it's a machine-specific configuration or  a dependency  
issue.
