There was an unintentional bug in the rhel5.2 openibd init script in that it automatically turned itself on during install (generally, most init scripts should default to *not* turning themselves on during install of the package, nor should they start themselves during install of the package...this is for security reasons, imagine if you installed the bind name server on your box and it automatically started up before you had a chance to configure it). In rhel5.3 we fixed that bug. So, you may need to 'chkconfig --level 2345 openibd on' to make sure openibd starts up each time. The error you list above is consistent with not all of the kernel modules being loaded when you tried to use the sminfo program. > > Moreover, "openibd start" report one warning message about hwconf. > > Anyone has comments about this? > > > > [r...@xblade07 ~]# /etc/init.d/openibd start > > Loading OpenIB kernel modules:grep: /etc/sysconfig/hwconf: No such > > file or directory > > [ OK ] Can you see if the kudzu package is installed on your machine? The openib package uses this config file written by kudzu to determine what hardware drivers to load. I suppose I should put a specific requires in the rpm for that. -- Doug Ledford <[email protected]> GPG KeyID: CFBFF194 http://people.redhat.com/dledford Infiniband specific RPMs available at http://people.redhat.com/dledford/Infiniband
