[Lustre-discuss] building lustre with OFED

[Kevin Van Maren]

Do note that rhel5.3 comes with ofed 1.3.2, which is basically 1.3.1  
modified to run on the rhel5.3 kernel.

So using that version should work, or you can use the pre-built rpms  
(which are for a 5.2 update kernel).

On the servers, save yourself hassle and use the binary kernel provided.
