Rebuild or Reinstall the kernel-ib Driver with
rpm After a Kernel Upgrade
If you upgrade the kernel, then you must reboot and then rebuild or reinstall the
InfiniPath kernel modules (drivers).
To rebuild the drivers, type the following (as a root user):
# cd /usr/src/qlogic_ib/kernel-ib-<version>
# ./make-install.sh
# /etc/init.d/openibd restart
An alternative method is to reinstall the InfiniPath kernel modules and then restart
the InfiniPath service. To do so, type the following (as a root user):
# rpm -U --replacepkgs kernel-ib-*
# /etc/init.d/openibd restart
Rebuild the kernel-ib Driver on an
Unsupported Distribution or an Unsupported
Distribution/Kernel Pair
If the rpm install cannot correctly determine the underlying distribution/kernel
combination, a warning message displays. This error can occur if you perform the
installation on an unsupported distribution or on an unsupported
distribution/kernel pair.
In this case, use IPATH_DISTRO to override the distribution version provided in
either the /etc/redhat-release file or the /etc/SuSE-release file.
Here is an example. These commands must be entered as a root user:
# export IPATH_DISTRO=2.6.18_EL5.1 KVER=2.6.18-53.1.14.el5
# cd /usr/src/qlogic_ib/kernel-ib-<version>
# ./make-install.sh
# /etc/init.d/openibd restart
