I don't think you are actually using the kernel from kernel.org:
we test-build these nightly.

Well when I try to compile I get an error message saying i_private is not a member of the inode structure when trying to compile the ulp/iboip and the ib_ipath modules.  I'm using the 2.6.18-8 kernel src from kernel.org.

Any reasons why I would be getting this error message?

Thanks,
Jeff

OFED 1.2 supports the RHEL5 kernel. Shouldn't the Centos kernel be identical?
