Hi
I cannot compile Infiniband OFED drivers against any of the Lustre 
patched kernels

i installed lustre
1. kernel-smp , kernel-source , lustre, lustre-modules and lustre-ldiskfs
2. switched grub to boot into lustre kernel
3. tried to install OFED :  ./install.pl --all (or with menu options, 
but  result is the same)

first time i got messages about unconfigured kernel, so i descended into 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.18...lustre...-obj/x86_64/smp and made
make oldconfig
make prepare
make scripts

then went back to OFED install directory and tried again, but this time 
(and always) i get the errors

File not found .... blablabla..../drivers/net/mlx4 ,   cxgb3 and few others

i checked the kernel .config file, but infiniband and MLX4 are set to 
"is not set"

any suggestions?

HOW TO COMPILE Infiniband OFED Driver against any RPM installable Lustre 
Kernel?
