I’m trying to run mlnxofedinstall, and get the following error output, with an error caused by mlx5_ib which I’m unsure of what the cause is. Can anyone help me diagnose the issue? I’ve attached the command line output along with: debinstall.log and make.log. Many thanks in advance and let me know if you need any more information/data. OS is Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

The problem seems to be that MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.1-1.0.4.0 is incompatible with ubuntu kernel: 5.4.0-67-generic. The installation worked with 5.4.0-66-generic.

Hello Will,

Thank you for posting your inquiry on the NVIDIA Networking Community.

This is a known issue, and we fixed it in the upcoming MLNX_OFED 5.3 GA release targeted for the end of March.
