Both Centos-4.3 and 4.4 (2.6.9-34.xx and -42.xx) has comparable or newer infiniband drivers though I recommend that you download and install ofed-1.1 (and that you use latest 4.4, 2.6.9-42.0.8). If you do feel the need to use a kernel.org kernel then I _really_ recommend using a newer one than what you tried. 1) do you think the first ever infiniband drop for the mainline kernel is what you want? 2) how many security problems do you think there are in that old kernel? (hint: quite a few). So go with 2.6.19.x for x as large as you can find. /Peter > If this is not the case, I would > be delighted to know that and proceed accordingly.
