[ewg] 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 kernel support

Hi Hiroyuki,

I tried to configure with the options provided by you but my ofed kernel is still not getting configured with them. I think configure script can detect the kernel version and its source by itself. I am able to configure the ofed kernel from 2.6.31 to 2.6.39 without those options.

Thanks,
Vipul

Hello Vipul

I'm not sure this is useful for you.
Have you ever tried configure with --kernel-version and --kernen-source option??

./configure --with-ipoib-mod --with-sdp-mod --with-user_mad-mod \
 --with-user_access-mod --with-mthca-mod --with-mlx4-mod   \
 --with-mlx4_en-mod --with-core-mod --with-addr_trans-mod   \
 --with-rds-mod --with-srp-mod --with-nes-mod   \
 --kernel-version=2.6.29 \
 --kernel-sources=/kerne/source/path
