Steve, all, many thanks for your help!
I am running a Fedora provided kernel (see below) and OFED-1.4. Running 'install.pl' in 'custom' mode did never ask about NFS. Neither did setting the 'nfsrdma=y' change anything. 'find' told me that there is nothing in OFED-1.4 that contains 'nfs' but there are nfs files in the release candidates. I will first try OFED-1.4.1 on my Fedora 9 (2.6.27.12-78.2.8.fc9.x86_64) and move to the 2.6.28 kernel provided by kernel.org if it does not work.

I suggest either ofed-1.4.1-rc1 or just a stock 2.6.28 kernel (see my earlier email). Steve. Jeff Becker wrote: > Hi.
