Do note that rhel5.3 comes with ofed 1.3.2, which is basically 1.3.1 modified to run on the rhel5.3 kernel.

So using that version should work, or you can use the pre-built rpms (which are for a 5.2 update kernel).

On the servers, save yourself hassle and use the binary kernel provided.

OFED 1.3.1 doesn't support RHEL5U3 (which == centos 5.3 IIUC).  For
RHEL5U3 support, you will need to use OFED 1.4.1 (which is not released
yet, so you can use one of the RCs or a post RC3 nightly snapshot).

Lustre 1.6.6 (or .7 for that matter) doesn't support OFED 1.4 either
though as that's still a work in process. We expect to have support for
OFED 1.4.1 soon after it releases GA.
