[ofa-general] kernel-ib on rhel5

[Brian J. Murrell]

I wonder, what is the strategy for kernel-ib to exist on a machine with
the standard RHEL5 kernel installed.  The standard RHEL5 kernel of
course includes an OFED release and as such modules of the same name as
the OFED ones.

I can see that by default, the ofa_kernel.spec installs it's modules
into /lib/modules/%{KVERSION}/updates but how does that insure than when
a kernel module is loaded with modprobe that the one
in /lib/modules/%{KVERSION}/updates will be preferred over the one in
lib/modules/%{KVERSION}/ (i.e. provided by the RHEL5 kernel RPM)?

Thanx,
b.
