Rebuilding or Reinstalling 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, do the following (as root):
# 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. Type (as root):
# rpm -U --replacepkgs kernel-ib-*
# /etc/init.d/openibd restart
Rebuilding the kernel-ib Driver on an
Unsupported Distribution or an Unsupported
Distribution/Kernel Pair
If the rpm install can’t correctly determine the underlying distribution/kernel
combination, you will see a warning message. This can occur if you try to install
on an unsupported distribution or an unsupported distribution/kernel pair.
In this case you need to 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 done as root:
# 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
