Hello everyone.
I bought 2 of Mellanox MHGH28 XTC (branded Hewlett Packard) and two vanilla Voltaire 400EX infiniband HCA from e-bay for home use. All had the "cannot start, error 10" problem. I successfully flashed the HP version of v2.7 firmware to both of the MHGH28 and now Windows 7 64 bit version sees the cards and they work fine. Thanks for the thread that helped me do this. Still got the "error 10" problem with the Voltaire cards though.
The command "mst status" shows the Voltaire as MT25208, but if I query mt25208_pciconf0 with flint, it says:- "device type 25208 not supported any more: old device type". The card is in the same PCIe x8 slot that worked with the MHGH28. Do I bin the Voltaires and buy more MHGH28 ? or can I communicate with them and get firmware from Mellanox since they bought Voltaire ? I note there is firmware starting with fw-25208_etc_etc on the Mellanox firmware download website.
Lastly, does the number "25208" just refer to the firmware that is loaded ? or does it identify the hardware / infiniband chip ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
