If these RPMs have not been installed, you will see error messages like this when
installing InfiniPath:
Building and installing InfiniPath modules for 2.6.16_sles10
2.6.16.21-0.8-debug kernel
*** ERROR: /lib/modules/2.6.16.21-0.8-debug/build/.config is
missing.

Building and installing InfiniPath modules for 2.6.9_U4

Install the correct RPMs by using the yum or yast commands, for example:
# yum install kernel-devel
Next, the kernel-ib package must be re-installed, with the --replacepkgs
option included. Then the infinipath service can be restarted. To do so, type
the following (as root):
# rpm -U --replacepkgs kernel-ib*
# /etc/init.d/openibd restart
NOTE:
Check your distribution’s documentation for more information on installing
these RPMs, and for usage of yum or yast.
