All the OFED rpm's for FC6 installed on FC8 without difficulty, except for opensm-3.0.3-0.ppc64.rpm<br>

This is the cause of most of your subsequent problems. Without an SM<br>
running somewhere on your network, the links don't come fully up.<br>

Following your link, I reach a download directory offering only ppc64-RPMs; in fact all precompiled RPMs for OFED-1.2.5 are for Power PC and not for x86.<br>
<br>
..<br>
Much better is to download more up-to-date OFED-1.3 sources. The package includes an install script, which builds and installs the RPMs for you. So you don't have to "fear" to install something which is not controlled by your package management system (RPM).</blockquote>
<div><br> </div></div>As a side note, you've probably gotten yourself in to an unrecoverable state with RPM having already installed all those PPC RPM's on your Fedora 8 x86_64 systems. The easiest thing to do is probably reinstall but if you want, you can try removing them all with something like this:<br>
<br>cd /path/to/downloaded/RPMS<br>ls | grep -oP .+?\(\?=.x86_64\\.rpm\) | xargs rpm -e<br><br>The command will extract the names of the RPM's known by RPM that you installed and then ask RPM to remove them.<br>
