They are transient.. but sometimes opensm hangs with the same message 
and loops this errors messages.
First I was using centos 5.3 kernel with updates .. and the IPoIB 
stopped working after these messages.
Using the "vanilla" centos 5.3 kernel solved this issue.
But SOMETIMES, booting the nodes, these messages appear and dont go away.

They seem to work with vanilla kernel. Even with the messages, no 
problems reaching the nodes so far.
