Hi,

I have two Dual port HCAa card.Which I have installed in
same PC.

I am using OpenSuse 10.3  and installed OFED 1.4.

If I try to run any IB bandwidth test or latency test it end us with warning
"Conflicting CPU frequency values detected: 2394.000000 != 1596.000000".

Is it an OFED related problem or Linux kernel problem.

HCA are connected back to back and output of ibstat is as given below.

Even ibibnetdiscover is detecting one hope.
So there is nothing wrong if I try to test 2 HCA connected back to back.

Please tell me what can be done for running ib tests.

Thanks,
