#6 makes it sound like it's an ofed installation issue rather than the HCA itself. Could you post the relevant /var/log/messages? Messages from ib_mthca would be especially important. In addition, the output from mstflint -d <mypciaddress> q could also be useful. -- Michael Heinz Principal Engineer, Qlogic Corporation King of Prussia, Pennsylvania

These cards come up as "MT23108" in the logs, and I am not sure whom the manufacturer is. I was able to program the cards, and even install MPICH2 and run tests. I have recently obtained new IB cards from HP "HP PCI-X 2-port 4X Fabric (HPC) Adapter" http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?lang=en&cc=id&; prodTypeId=12883&prodSeriesId=460713&lang=en&cc=id and these cards do not work the same. The machine boots up fine with the card in, and shows the card as Mellanox "MT23108" also? The two cards are visibly different in every way. Is the MT23108 a certain platform for IB? I am new to the entire IB technology. This is the history of what I did. 1) Staged the machine RH EL v5 2) Install the IB card 3) Boot machine up 4) Can see the card looking at "lspci" and "dmesg" but nothing in the network area or under "ifconfig" (Just like with the first cards) 5) I then install the OFED-1.3 software to communicate and configure the card 6) When I go to start the card (instead of reboot but have tried both ways) /etc/init.d/openib start, it all fails. I then look in the log file and see a bunch of "unknown symbol..." and "disagrees..." for all items of ib_uverbs, ib_umad,iw_cxgb3,ib_path, mlx_ib, and so on. 7) When I reboot, the machine reaches "UDEV" of the reboot stage, hangs for a little bit, and then many errors show and the machine won't boot, unless I take the card out. If I uninstall the OFED software, it will reboot fine with the card still in. The card from HP giving me problems, does not appear to have any drivers for it. It looks like HP supports it to work on Windows, and HPUX. I'm look for any help you can provide. Thanks in advance, Dave >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> David Shue Systems Specialist Computer Sciences Corporation <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
