Hi Don,
 
I believe you need to disable the "hotplug" loading of the Infiniband drivers
by putting the modules you have listed into /etc/hotplug/blacklist file.
 
Please, let me know if this helped.

Subject: [openib-general] Stopping Infiniband kernel modules from loading at system boot


Short of uninstalling the OFED-1.0 release,  how can I stop the Infiniband related kernel modules from loading at system boot?  

I am trying to debug a problem with programs hanging in the kernel,  so I thought that I would try manually loading the modules one at a time to see if I could isolate the problem.  This is on a RHEL4 U3 system with the 2.6.16 kernel and the OFED-1.0 release installed.

 I used "/sbin/chkconfig" to turn off the  "openibd" and "opensmd" services in the /etc/rc.d/ runlevel files.  I even removed "ifcfg-ib0" and "ifcfg-ib1" from the /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts directory.  I don't see any other scripts that would cause these modules to be loaded.   But every time I reboot, I get the following modules loaded, according to /sbin/lsmod:

ib_mthca              117424  0
ib_mad                 35896  1 ib_mthca
ib_core                45952  2 ib_mthca,ib_mad

What have I missed?
