Hello Pradeep,
We probably should add support for SLES10 SP2 in a different backport 
directory:
kernel_patches/backport/2.6.16_sles10_sp2
kernel_addons/backport/2.6.16_sles10_sp2
and then update ofed_scripts/ofed_patch.sh.


You can copy 2.6.16_sles10_sp1 to 2.6.16_sles10_sp2 and then 
remove/update relevant patches/headers.

Meanwhile, I will try to get this kernel.

Regards,
Vladimir
