[Lustre-discuss] OFED 1.1 and 1.2

[Kit Westneat]

Hi,

I had problems with missing modules errors, but the problem I had was 
that the Lustre compilation process was picking up the symbol versions 
of the original OFED stack, and not the new symbols. What I finally had 
to do was edit /usr/src/linux/Modules.symvers and delete every line 
containing the word infiniband. After that I ran configure 
--with-o2ib=/usr/src/openib, and it worked fine. You can tell if you are 
running into the same problem by looking at /var/log/messages. There 
will be a bunch of messages saying something to the effect of version 
mismatch with various functions.

I'm not sure if anyone else is running into that, but it took me forever 
to figure out.
