Hi,

I'm triying to follow the steps however I'm experiencing issues while trying to run the command:

moragalu@server:~/MLNX_OFED_LINUX-4.4-2.0.7.0-ubuntu16.04-x86_64$ sudo ./mlnxofedinstall --upstream-libs --dpdk Logs dir: /tmp/MLNX_OFED_LINUX.32279.logs General log file: /tmp/MLNX_OFED_LINUX.32279.logs/general.log

Below is the list of MLNX_OFED_LINUX packages that you have chosen (some may have been added by the installer due to package dependencies):

ofed-scripts
mlnx-ofed-kernel-utils
mlnx-ofed-kernel-dkms
rdma-core
libibverbs1
ibverbs-utils
ibverbs-providers
libibverbs-dev
librdmacm1
rdmacm-utils
librdmacm-dev

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

I'm attaching both log files to the email, so you have more information about the installation error.

There is more configuration to be done when using an old distro with OFED.
You will find the information in this chapter of the doc:
