Hi there. We are evaluating Windows Server 2008 and are experiencing problems with InfiniBand. We tried both 1.0 and 1.0.1 using the steps described below, without success. Will there be a signed distribution in the not too distant future?
If not, what would you propose for a rather large (Intel-based) installation? Manually patching every machine is not an option.

The simplest way to workaround this problem is to boot the computer with F8 pressed and to select a working mode that doesn't force driver signing. After that I believe that you might be able to install manually but the installation using devmon will still fail. You can avoid this failure by replacing devmon with the following command: DPInst.exe /SW /SA /PATH "path_to_inf" Dpinst is part of the vista DDK (version 6000), and has a good help with it. I'll send a longer update about the different ways to sign the files.
