Hi ,
Im currently working on project that need to use Mellanox Infiniband card for our GPUDirect research. We are trying to setup a machine using the Infiniband card we just received but we face a problem with driver installation where it failed to fully install the “mlnx-ofed-kernel-2.0”. Hope we can get some help on the matter. Below shows the output we getting and some information about our machine.
