Hi , Im currently working on project that need to use Mellanox Infiniband card for our GPUDirect research. We are trying to setup a machine using the Infiniband card we just received but we face a problem with driver installation where it failed to fully install the “ mlnx-ofed-kernel-2.0 ”.
The DKMS (on Debian based OS) and the weak-modules (RedHat OS) mechanisms rebuild the initrd/initramfs for the respective kernel in order to add the MLNX_OFED drivers. When installing MLNX_OFED without DKMS support on Debian based OS, or without KMP support on RedHat or any other distribution, the initramfs will not be changed.
