Error while installing MOFED for CentOS 8.3

Infrastructure & Networking Software And Drivers

Hello,

I’ve upgraded my OS to CentOS 8.3 in order to reinstall MOFED (5.1-2.5.8.0). However, I’m getting this error message:

Current operation system is not supported!

I’m guessing that it refers to the OS but I had never seen this message before. The command is:

sudo ./mlnxofedinstall --kernel $KERNEL --kernel-sources /usr/src/kernels/${KERNEL} --add-kernel-support

where KERNEL is 4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64, and the kernels are located at /usr/src/kernels/4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64 with the following structure:

arch crypto fs ipc lib mm samples sound usr

block drivers include Kconfig Makefile Module.symvers scripts System.map virt

certs firmware init kernel Makefile.rhelver net security tools vmlinux.id

I really don’t see anything wrong here so I’m unsure why of the error message.

Thanks.

Hi Arturo,

Please provide the below outputs :

  • uname -r
  • cat /etc/redhat-release
  • OFED installation log
  • full command and error

For further investigation, i suggest to open support ticket networking-support@nvidia.com

Thanks,

Samer

Hi Samer,

The requested info:

1 - 4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64

2 - CentOS Linux release 8.3.2011

3 - I double checked (because it was my recollection) but there’s no log as nothing has happened. The installation stops right after calling mlxnofedinstall.

Thanks.

Arturo
