-8. Known Issues
+3. Known Issues
===============================================================================
The following is a list of general limitations and known issues of the various
-components of the OFED 1.5.3 release.
+components of the OFED 1.5.4 release.
1. When upgrading from an earlier OFED version, the installation script does
not stop the earlier OFED version prior to uninstalling it.
10. On SLES11, set allow_unsupported_modules parameter to 1 in file:
/etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules. Without this the modules will not
load.
-11. iSER is supported on kernel.org 2.6.30, 2.6.31 and 2.6.32 only.
- OFED-1.5.3 will not install iSER on other kernels, and the original iSER
- module that comes with the Linux distribution will stop working due to a
- mismatch in the symbols version.
-12. On SLES10 SP3, the kernel 2.6.16.60-0.54.5 should be updated to
- 2.6.16.60-0.59.1 or later. The original kernel may cause kernel panic
- during '/etc/init.d/openibd restart'.
-13. ConnectX/ConnectX2 in VPI mode are not supported in PPC64
Note: See the release notes of each component for additional issues.
