Then its builtin to the kernel (rather than them being modules). > 2. When I do /sbin/lsmod --I see nothing though.... That's consistent with the above. > 3.

You will then need to load the ib_core and ib_mad modules by hand if you are not loading your driver first. It would likely pull them in based on the dependencies in your driver. -- Hal > Thanks a lot in advance, > Suri > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Hal Rosenstock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 4:42 PM > > To: Suresh Shelvapille > > Cc: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: [openib-general] initialization -udev > > > > Hi Suri, > > > > On Mon, 2005-10-17 at 16:15, Suresh Shelvapille wrote: > > > Folks: > > > Another basic question, I just built my 2.6.10 kernel with core > > Infiniband > > > stack.
