Thanks for the help, I was able to load the infiniband drivers using your suggestion. However, I am still stuck at one point. I do not understand why is it happening but here what I am getting when I try to run "service network restart"
------------------------------------------------------------------ Shutting down interface eth0: [OK] Shutting down interface ib0: [OK] Shutting down interface ib1: [OK] Shutting down loopback interface: [OK] Setting network parameters: [OK] Bringing up loopback interface: [OK] Bringing up interface eth0: [OK] Bringing up interface ib0: Error, some other host already uses address 20.1.1.10. Bringing up interface ib1: Error, some other host already uses address 20.1.1.11. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I am 100% sure that no other host is already using the same address, and here is how I am setting the ib interfaces: The output of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcgf-ib0 : --------------------------------------------- DEVICE=ib0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=20.1.1.10 NETMASK=255.0.0.0 --------------------------------------------- and the output of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcgf-ib1 : --------------------------------------------- DEVICE=ib1 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=20.1.1.11 NETMASK=255.0.0.0 -------------------------------------------- Had anybody run into this problem??

Correct? If so, just rebuild the kernel. In the > config phase, specify "InfiniBand support" under "Device Drivers".
