Dear Bernard,
              Thanks a lot for your help, Now the compute nodes are able to recognise the ips
driver for x86_64 EM64T RHEL4U2 servers. sorry for the late reply, i was doing the implementation
and customization of main servers for the compute nodes. After i finish the implemenation i will
update the status and send the doc to our mailling list.

once again thanks for your great help..

regards
karkeyan
