Problem installing MLNX_OFED_LINUX-4.6-1.0.1.1-ubuntu18.04-x86_64

This program will install the MLNX_OFED_LINUX package on your machine.

Note that all other Mellanox, OEM, OFED, RDMA or Distribution IB packages will be removed.

Those packages are removed due to conflicts with MLNX_OFED_LINUX, do not reinstall them.

Do you want to continue?[y/N]:y

Hi Jenny,

In add on and also documented in our UM 3.3.2 Installation Procedure.

MLNX_OFED for Ubuntu should be installed with the following flags in chroot environment:

./mlnxofedinstall --without-dkms --add-kernel-support --kernel --without-fw-update –

force

For example:

./mlnxofedinstall --without-dkms --add-kernel-support --kernel 3.13.0-85-generic --without-fw-update --force

Note that the path to kernel sources (–kernel-sources) should be added if the sources are not in their default location.
