F–Troubleshooting<br />
Kernel and Initialization Issues<br />
Driver Load Fails Due to Unsupported Kernel<br />
If you try to load the InfiniPath driver on a kernel that InfiniPath software does not<br />
support, the load fails. Error messages similar to this display:<br />
modprobe: error inserting<br />
’/lib/modules/2.6.3-1.1659-smp/updates/kernel/drivers/infiniband/h<br />
w/qib/ib_qib.ko’: -1 Invalid module format<br />
To correct this problem, install one of the appropriate supported Linux kernel<br />
versions, then reload the driver.<br />
Rebuild or Reinstall Drivers if Different Kernel Installed<br />
If you upgrade the kernel, then you must reboot and then rebuild or reinstall the<br />
InfiniPath kernel modules (drivers). <strong>QLogic</strong> recommends using the InfiniBand<br />
Fabric Suite <strong>Software</strong> Installation TUI to preform this rebuild or reinstall. Refer to<br />
the <strong>QLogic</strong> Fabric <strong>Software</strong> Installation <strong>Guide</strong> for more information.<br />
InfiniPath Interrupts Not Working<br />
The InfiniPath driver cannot configure the InfiniPath link to a usable state unless<br />
interrupts are working. Check for this problem with the command:<br />
$ grep ib_qib /proc/interrupts<br />
Normal output is similar to this:<br />
CPU0 CPU1<br />
185: 364263 0 IO-APIC-level ib_qib<br />
NOTE:<br />
The output you see may vary depending on board type, distribution, or<br />
update level.<br />
If there is no output at all, the driver initialization failed. For more information on<br />
driver problems, see “Driver Load Fails Due to Unsupported Kernel” on page F-3<br />
or “InfiniPath ib_qib Initialization Failure” on page F-5.<br />
If the output is similar to one of these lines, then interrupts are not being delivered<br />
to the driver.<br />
66: 0 0 PCI-MSI ib_qib<br />
185: 0 0 IO-APIC-level ib_qib<br />
The following message appears when driver has initialized successfully, but no<br />
interrupts are seen within 5 seconds.<br />
ib_qib 0000:82:00.0: No interrupts detected.<br />
