hi all,
i am preparing an upgrade from SL5.2 to SL5.3 (which are EL5 clones).
one thing we would also like to look at is switching from OFED 1.3.2 to
OFED 1.4. and one thing i noticed is that the necessary 5.3 backport
fixes only exist in the current 1.4.1 daily snapshots.
did anyone already try to backport the el5.3 backport fixes from 1.4.1
to 1.4.0?
many thanks,
stijn
Its the same tree so backports of RHEL 5.3 from 1.4.1 should work on 1.4 too
hi tziporet,
i actually already tried that, moving the following files from a recent
1.4.1 daily to the 1.4.0 ofa_kernel src rpm
ofed_scripts/get_backport_dir.sh
kernel_addons/backport/2.6.18-EL5.3/
kernel_addons/backport/2.6.18-EL5.3/
but rebuilding this gave the following error:
(i have to say that the kernel i used was 2.6.18-128.1.1 instead the
original el5.3 2.6.18-128)

it is also a patch file that doesn't exist in the el5.2 backport, so i
was thinking that this was a patch for 1.4.1, not 1.4.0, that's why i
asked it here.
anyway, many thanks for looking into this!

Hi Stijn,
You have, probably, copied RHEL 5.3 backports into ofa_kernel-1.4
directory where the patches (RHEL5.0) already were applied.
In any case, it is better to take the latest ofa_kernel src rpm instead
of updating source rpm coming from OFED-1.4.
The difference is RHEL5.3 support and some bug fixes (see git log).
Regards,
Vladimir
