8. Reload all modules by using this command (as root):

# /etc/init.d/infinipath start 

An alternate mechanism can be used, if provided as part of your alternate 
installation.

9. Run an OpenFabrics test program, such as ibstatus, to verify that your 

InfiniPath card(s) work correctly.

You may be using a kernel which is compatible with one of the supported 
distributions, but which may not be picked up during infinipath-kernel 
installation. It may also happen when using make-install.sh to manually 
recompile the drivers.

In this case, you can set your distribution with the $IPATH_DISTRO override. Run 
this command before installation, or before running make-install.sh. We use 
the RHEL4 Update 4 distribution as an example in this command for bash or sh 
users:

$ export IPATH_DISTRO=rhel4_U4 

The distribution arguments that are currently understood are listed below. They are 
found in the file build-guards.sh.

These are used for RHEL, CentOS(Rocks), and Scientific Linux.

rhel4_U2 

rhel4_U3

rhel4_U4

These are used for SLES, SUSE, and Fedora:

sles9

sles10

suse9.3

fc3

fc4

make-install.sh

 and build-guards.sh are both found in this directory:

/usr/src/infinipath/drivers

Issues that may prevent the system from coming up properly are described.
