+3. Post installation note for RH7.4 and RH7.5
+
+Redhat may start the rdma.service and attempt to load in-box ULP modules not
+built with OFED rdma_core components. As a result there may be some
+conflicts with in-box modules and the new rdma_core modules loaded with our
+openibd service. For example, dmesg may show unknown symbols similiar to
+the following:
+
+	rpcrdma: Unknown symbol rdma_reject_msg 
+
+To prevent in-box ULP modules from attempting to loading you can 
+disable the rdma.service or modify the configuration files after 
+you install OFED. The following is a sample post install script:
+
+dracut -f -v --force
+sed -i -e "s/yes/no/" /etc/rdma/rdma.conf
+sed -i -e "s/^svc/#&/;s/^xprt/#&/" /etc/rdma/modules/rdma.conf
+reboot
