[Lustre-discuss] issue: OFED 1.3 compilation issues with Kernel from CFS

[Anand Bisen]

Hi,

I have been trying to build OFED 1.3 (esp. ofa_kernel: kernel-ib)
package against kernel "2.6.18-53.1.14.el5_lustre.1.6.5smp", which is
distributed by CFS. The error that i am encountering is during the end
of the rpmbuild phase where the build fails trying to find some
directories. The same build process finishes successfully if i use the
CentOS default kernel.

I also noticed some binaries missing in the kernel-source provided by
CFS in the directory scripts/ subdirectory, (ex. genksyms/genksyms). I
copied those binaries from the stock CentOS kernel.

If anybody was able to compile OFED-1.3 against the CFS provided
kernel i would like to know the specifics on the system on which the
packages were compiled.
