8. Reload all modules by using this command (as root):
# /etc/init.d/infinipath start
An alternate mechanism can be used, if provided as part of your alternate
installation.

Installing for Your Distribution
You may be using a kernel which is compatible with one of the supported
distributions, but which may not be picked up during infinipath-kernel
installation. It may also happen when using make-install.sh to manually
recompile the drivers.
In this case, you can set your distribution with the $IPATH_DISTRO override. Run
this command before installation, or before running make-install.sh. We use
the RHEL4 Update 4 distribution as an example in this command for bash or sh
users:
$ export IPATH_DISTRO=rhel4_U4
The distribution arguments that are currently understood are listed below. They are
found in the file build-guards.sh.
These are used for RHEL, CentOS(Rocks), and Scientific Linux.
rhel4_U2
rhel4_U3
rhel4_U4
These are used for SLES, SUSE, and Fedora:
sles9
sles10
suse9.3
fc3
fc4
make-install.sh and build-guards.sh are both found in this directory:
/usr/src/infinipath/drivers
