Thanks, Ben and Jesse. Looking into the problem and following your answers, it turned out that the reason was that GRE was disabled in the kernel configuration. Once I enabled it, built the modules, and insmoded them (net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.ko ,net/ipv4/ip_gre.ko, net/ipv4/gre.ko ) and reinsmoded the openvswitch module, the same problematic sequence succeeded.
