[Users] Building OFA OFED-3.18-2 on Redhat 6.8

[Amiya K Maji]

Rupert/Aleksandr,


Thank you very much for the response!

I did notice the release notes earlier and was hoping that someone had a patch to make things work. I think it would benefit several in the community if OFED supports latest RHEL-6.x release.


Is there any plan to support RHEL-6.8 in OFED-4.8 release? I tried to build the daily version but that didn't work either.


Regards,

Amiya.

Hi,

This is probably because 3.18-2 did not have backports for RHEL 6.8 since 3.18-2 was released in July (see attached release notes). I will bring this issue up in the next EWG meeting to see if we want to consider support for 6.8 with another 3.18-xx release.

Amiya,
I had the same issue - errors while building OFED-3.18-2 on REHL 6.8. I switched to OFED-3.18-2 on RHEL 6.7 and was able to build without any issues.


I would be curious to know if you manage to build OFED-3.18-2 on REHL 6.8.

Thank you,
Aleksandr Nepomnyashchiy

Hi,

I am trying to build OFA OFED drivers on Redhat-6.8 (Kernel 2.6.32.642) but encountering various errors pasted below. I have tried building both "--with-xeon-phi" and without -- but faced same errors.


If anyone has experience building OFED on Kernel-2.6.32.642, I would appreciate some guidance. If it is not compatible, can someone suggest me a compatible OFED driver?


Error messages:
---------------------
include/linux/percpu.h:713: error: 'printk_func_t' undeclared here (not in a function)
