I've just installed OFED 1.5.2 using your install.pl on two brand new
servers I'm building.
Certainly a lot better experience than the last time I did this with
the standard OFED release a few years ago.
These were two new freshly build servers with OpenSuSe11.2 with a
2.6.31 kernel, so I had no pre-existing environment on them.
I added all the packages listed in the README.txt for the components I
wanted.
It took three go's to finally build the new kernel and install
InfiniBand.
First attempt failed since neither quilt or patch were available on the
systems.
I downloaded quilt and tried again
20 minutes of build later it failed again, this time it could not find
make.
I downloaded make and tried again
30 minutes later it failed again, this time iit was looking for libtool
I downloaded libtool and tried again.
This time it finished successfully and I had InfiniBand up and
running.
Took about 2 1/2 hours due to the false starts.
It would be worthwhile adding checks for these commands near the
beginning of the build scripts.
There were also a lot of error messages about user vlad and group vlad
not being present. The scripts should not really contain any had codes
dependencies on users other than root.
Overall, a good job though. thanks for all your efforts.
