[ofa-general] RE: Trouble installing OFED1.2 with kernel

[Jeffrey Wong]

I have downloaded the kernel src from 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.18.8.tar.gz
I have gunzip and untarred the directory.

In the file linux-2.6.18.8/include/linux/fs.h.  Here is the structure definition of inode.  When I look below the i_private ptr does not exist.  Please advise.

Thanks,
Jeff

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?
