**** Known Issues ****

HCA drivers are reclassified as BOOT_START drivers to support booting from
an SRP IOC.  An unfortunate side-effect is when OFED 2.3 is installed
on a system for the first time, after installation a mandatory reboot is
Required by Windows.

After the OFED.msi file has started installation, an errant
"Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard" window 'may' popup; XP & Svr 2003.

Just ignore or 'cancel' the errant FNHW popup window in order to proceed with
the installation. XP requires a cancel, for WLH & WNET, the notifier will
disappear on their own.

You do need to answer 'Yes' or 'Continue' to popup windows which refer to
Non-Logo'ed (aka, Non-WHQL'ed) drivers being installed.

If the install appears to hang, look around for popup windows requesting input
which are covered by other windows.
Such is the case on Server 2008 initial install - Answer 'yes' to always trust
the OpenFabrics Alliance as a SW publisher.

Please:
  Read the Release_notes.htm file!

  make 'sure' your HCA firmware is recent:
      vstat.exe displays HCA firmware version & PSID.
      flint.exe (found in the Mellanox firmware tools package) displays PSID.

Thank you,

OFED for Windows developers.
