If you extract the kernel SRPM into a tarball with alien, you can run the kernel module build manually. alien -t ofa_kernel-1.4-ofed1.4.src.rpm (extract the resulting tarball) Note that you have to run the ofed_patch.sh script first, as extra minor versions numbers in the kernel confuses the patch script and it will try and apply the SLES kernel patches rather than the vanilla kernel ones. ./ofed_scripts/ofed_patch.sh --kernel-version=2.6.18 ./configure --kernel-sources=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-6 \ --kernel-version=2.6.18-6-amd64 \ --with-core-mod --with-ipoib-mod --with-ipoib-cm --with-sdp-mod \ --with-srp-mod --with-srp-target-mod \ --with-user_mad-mod --with-user_access-mod \ --with-addr_trans-mod --with-mthca-mod --with-mlx4-mod --with-mlx4_core-mod \ --with-mlx4_en-mod --with-mlx4_inf-mod --with-rds-mod --with-madeye-mod \ --with-qlgc_vnic-mod --with-qlgc_vnic_stats-mod --with-cxgb3-mod \ --with-nes-mod make && make install If that is too much like hard work, there is a minimally tested deb at: ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/gmpc/repository/etch/ofa-kernel-source_1.4-1_all.deb You can then build the modules with module-assistant dpkg -i ofa-kernel-source_1.4_all.deb module-assistant prepare module-assistant -t build ofa-kernel Cheers, Guy -- Dr. Guy Coates, Informatics System Group The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton, Cambridge, CB10 1HH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 834244 x 6925 Fax: +44 (0)1223 496802 -- The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is operated by Genome Research Limited, a charity registered in England with number 1021457 and a company registered in England with number 2742969, whose registered office is 215 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BE. _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
