sysfs.o
	
	
	Hi All,
	     I just started working with openIB in the past week. I am
having an issue getting the kernel modules to compile with the stock
rhel4 u3 kernel. I have applied the patches found at
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/branches/backport/2.6.9_U3/ and followed the
instructions from
https://openib.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Installation+Cheat+Sheet but
I have been getting the following error:
	
	LD

	make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-34.EL-ppc64'
	
	Any help would be appreciated. As noted this is on a ppc64
machine. The rhel4 u3 install does *NOT* configure openIB by default
like it does on intel architectures. I was wondering if openIB has been
tested at all on ppc64 and if this was even possible at this point. 
	
	Regards.
	Paul
