Hi Sean,
This issue is caused by the following lines in the ibacm daemon (/etc/init.d/ibacm):

# Required-Start: rdma $network
# Required-Stop: rdma $network

- These lines fit RHEL6.x in-box driver that includes /etc/init.d/rdma.

Note: SLES, RHEL5.x Distros and OFED use /etc/init.d/openibd to load the driver.

So, I used "openibd" instead of "rdma".

Regards,
Vladimir
