I recently tried to reinstall MLX OFED 5.2-2.2.0.0 on my bare metal machine Ubuntu 20.04 (previously using the command ./mlnxofedinstall --dpdk --upstream-libs --with-mft --with-kernel-mft). However, it now fails with the message
Checking SW Requirements... Removing old packages... Uninstalling the previous version of MLNX_OFED_LINUX Installing new packages Installing mft-4.16.1... Installing ofed-scripts-5.2... Installing mstflint-4.15.0... Installing mlnx-ofed-kernel-utils-5.2... Installing mlnx-ofed-kernel-dkms-5.2... Failed to install mlnx-ofed-kernel-dkms DEB Collecting debug info... See /tmp/MLNX_OFED_LINUX.9221.logs/mlnx-ofed-kernel-dkms.debinstall.log It appears that my kernel version got upgraded to 5.4.0-80-generic which I think may be the issue. I've also tried to install using --add-kernel-support --kernel 5.4.0-80-generic, with no luck. The DPDK website says that rdma-core is now recommended over OFED, but the documentation for how to use it isn't very clear to me. I've tried to install it via apt-get install rdma-core as well as running the quick start script listed here: https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core, but DPDK installation still fails with ../drivers/common/mlx5/linux/mlx5_glue.h:15:10: fatal error: infiniband/mlx5dv.h: No such file or directory 15 | #include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h> Any advice on getting the mlx5 drivers to work again would be helpful!
