 1. When upgrading from an earlier OFED version, the installation script does
    not stop the earlier OFED version prior to uninstalling it. 
    Workaround: Stop the old OFED stack (/etc/init.d/openibd stop) before

+   upgrading to OFED 1.5.2 or reboot the server after OFED installation.
 2. Memory registration by the user is limited according to administrator

    system configuration.

    if IPoIB is set to connected mode). This is due to a bug in older kernels
    which causes a kernel panic.
