Q

In older distributions, such as RHEL4, the 32-bit 

glibc 

will be contained in the 

libgcc

 RPM. The RPM will be named similarly to:

libgcc-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386.rpm

In newer distributions, 

glibc

 is an RPM name. The 32-bit 

glibc

 will be named 

similarly to:

glibc-2.3.4-2.i686.rpm

or 

glibc-2.3.4-2.i386.rpm

Check your distribution for the exact RPM name.

The driver source now resides in infinipath-kernel. This means that newer 
drivers can be installed as they become available. Those who wish to install newer 
drivers, for example, from OFED (Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution), should be 
able to do so. However, some extra steps need to be taken in order to install properly. 

1. Install all InfiniPath RPMs, including 

infinipath-kernel

. The RPM 

infinipath-kernel

 installs into:

 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates 

This should not affect any other installed InfiniPath or OpenFabrics drivers.

2. Reload the InfiniPath and OpenFabrics modules to verify that the installation 

works by using this command (as root):

# /etc/init.d/infinipath restart

3. Run ipath_checkout or other OpenFabrics test program to verify that the 

InfiniPath card(s) work properly.

4. Unload the InfiniPath and OpenFabrics modules with the command:

# /etc/init.d/infinipath stop

5. Remove the InfiniPath kernel components with the command:

$ rpm -e infinipath-kernel --nodeps

The option 

--nodeps

 is required because the other InfiniPath RPMs depend 

on 

infinipath-kernel

.

6. Verify that no InfiniPath or OpenFabrics modules are present in the 

/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates

 directory.

7. If not yet installed, install the InfiniPath and OpenFabrics modules from your 

alternate set of RPMs.
