Summary0001037: Enable CONFIG_MLX4_CORE_GEN2 on Mainline Kernel Builds
DescriptionThe Config key CONFIG_MLX4_CORE_GEN2 enables support for older Melanox Cards (e.g. Connect-X2).

This is disabled in the RHEL Kernel, but Activated in Centos kernel-plus.

Therefore it would be nice if this was also enabled in the kernel-ml

Hi,

Thanks for the request.

I'm sure Alan, who maintains the mainline kernel-ml packages, will get to this shortly, but in the meantime I just wanted to note we also have a kmod package for using on the rhel8 distro kernel supporting older MLX4 devices:

kmod-mlx4-4.0-3.el8_2.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

Acknowledged.

I shall queue the appropriate kernel configuration adjustment for the next build of the kernel-ml package set.

With the recently announced release of the kernel-ml-5.8.9-1.el8.elrepo package set [1] this request has been fulfilled.

Now closing as "resolved/fixed".
