I am using CentOS7.6 and the kernel version is kernel-3.10.0-1160.90.1.el7.x86_64

I am trying to install the 5.8-3.0.7.0-LTS version.
The following error occurs and the installation fails.

Likely you are installing 5.1-237 instead you said 5.8-307.

You can download form below,

Then follow below to install,

https://docs.nvidia.com/networking/display/MLNXOFEDv583070LTS/Installing+MLNX_OFED

user72171 · August 9, 2023, 5:58am

Oh…Sorry…I mistake…;;;

Versions 5.1-237 and 5.8-307.

Both versions fail to install with the same error.

xiaofengl · August 9, 2023, 6:16am

The OFED driver package name seems not correct, that means you may use wrong deriver version.

for 5.1-237 name should be MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.1-2.3.7.1-rhel7.6-x86_64…

2.In theory for prebuild driver no need rebuild, just use “mlnxofedinstall” is OK. your installation rebuilding driver.

So PLS re-download correct version driver then re-install.

user72171 · August 9, 2023, 6:28am

Ok…Thanks

I tried to install both the 5.1-2.3.7.1 version and the 5.8-3.0.7.0-LTS version, but it failed.

The installation command I used was “mlnxofedinstall --add-kernel-support” .

Because both the 5.1-2.3.7.1 version and the 5.8-3.0.7.0-LTS version basically do not support the kernel-3.10.0-1160.90.1.el7.x86_64 kernel.

xiaofengl · August 9, 2023, 6:35am

Likely RHEL7.6 kernel ver is 3.10.0-957. 3.10.0-1160 is for RHEL7.9.

You know, RHEL kernel backport from mainline, I don’t think OFED build for RHEL7.6 can work on kernel of RHEL7.9.
