Hal,

With your patch to OpenSM, I think everything is ok on the local node. The 
remote node is definitely having some problems, resulting in not 
responding to the MAD packets.  I have entered a separate message on the 
problems with the "ib0" interface on that machine.

Yes, I am running kernel 2.6.16 with the OFED RC5 release.  I will 
investigate how to run madeye, but the hangs on the remote machine are 
probably the root cause of the link failure.

This back to back setup was working originally with a backported 2.6.11-34 
kernel and I believe it was revision 6500 from the OpenIB svn trunk at 
that time.  The problems started when I tried to move to RC4 and now RC5 
of the OFED release, with the 2.6.16 kernel.

It is difficult for me to debug this sort of thing, since I telecommute 
from Tucson and the machines are located in Phoenix.  But I can get 
someone there to power the machine down and reboot.
