Try this:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.14
mv include/rm include/rdm-ORIG
ln -s drives/infiniband/include/rdma include/rdma
make mrproper
cp /boot/config-2.6.13 .config
make oldconfig
make -j4


Can the openib/drivers/infiniband/Makefile include a hack to checks
the inodes in include/rdma/*.h == drivers/infiniband/include/rdma/*.h ?

If so, it could spew the appropriate error message and halt.
A FAQ entry won't be sufficient to prevent people from hitting
this regularly until 2.6.15 integrates an updated include/rdma.

Yes - but I've run into a different problem.
I'll send a seperate email describing it.
