MLNX_ofed 23.07 and Rocky Linux 9.2

Hello,

When using OFED dnf/yum repository I’m getting the following error when installing mlnx-ofed-all package:
Error:

Hi,

Thanks for your question.
The kmod-isert package is present in the repository and should be available.
https://linux.mellanox.com/public/repo/mlnx_ofed/latest-23.07/rhel9.2/x86_64/

I would suggest to double-check if no leftovers from previous installation are present on the system, and it definitely booted to the correct kernel when you are trying to install OFED.

Otherwise we will need to perform a deeper check of your system and installation logs, which may require to open a support case in Nvidia portal, and it will be handled according to the entitlement.

Best Regards,
Anatoly
