[ofa-general] Can't Initialize an MT23108 HCA

[Mike Heinz]

Boris,
 
The HCA is a Silverstorm version that reports to QuickSilver as
"3.05.0000rc01" which is equivalent to Mellanox "3.5.000". The "rc01"
means it was the first (and only) OEM build of that firmware.
 
I just compared the MLX files for the QuickSilver firmware and one I
just downloaded from Mellanox and they are identical.
 
I'm looking for another suitable machine to see if I get the same
behavior.

Hi Michael,
 
You mentioned FW version 3.05, while the latest is 3.5.0.
Please, verify.
 
Boris

Hey, Boris,
 
I am, indeed, running current firmware. I'll try to isolate variables
and see if I can focus on why this machine has a problem.

I thought I'd posted this question on the group before, but looking
through my notes I couldn't find that I had. My apologies if this is a
repeat.
 
I installed OFED 1.3.0.0.4 on a system with an older, MT23108 HCA
running 3.05 firmware. The HCA is known to work with QuickSilver. When I
rebooted I got this:
 
Feb 18 13:06:02 newberry kernel: ib_mthca: Mellanox InfiniBand HCA
driver v0.08
(February 14, 2006)
Feb 18 13:06:02 newberry kernel: ib_mthca: Initializing 0000:04:00.0
Feb 18 13:06:02 newberry kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] ->
GSI 28
(level, low) -> IRQ 217
Feb 18 13:06:02 newberry kernel: ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: PCI device did
not come
back after reset, aborting.
Feb 18 13:06:02 newberry kernel: ib_mthca 0000:04:00.0: Failed to reset
HCA,
aborting.
The system is running RHEL4, update 4, x86_64. Are older HCAs supported
with OFED or can only Arbel and Connect-X type HCAs usable?
