ISTR that we ran into some firmware compatibility issues on our IB hardware in the lab when we started 1.5 testing. A firmware upgrade resolved it. I don't recall what the nature of the problem was, but if you are experiencing hardware issues with just one brand of hardware, firmware is most likely the culprit. > I can't find the pre-built, kernel-2.6.18-164.6.1.0.1.el5.x86_84.rpm. Yes, that's because that is just RedHat's stock kernel. You can get that from wherever you got your distro and updates from (i.e. RH, Centos, etc.). > I > only found the source (kernel-2.6.18-164.6.1.0.1.el5.src.rpm). It's strange why we have that on our download site. I will ask our release manager about that one. > Do you have it > somewhere?

Indeed, and on a patchless client, you don't want to use the patched kernel. > I am hoping to use the > pre-built lustre-client rpms with my built binary(hoping for no modules > versioning complaints). If you get the kernel specified above from RH (or whoever your distro vendor is) you shouldn't get any. > Overly hopeful? Not at all. b.
