ah okay, i think i know the problem you may be refering (to the e326
sata disks and controllers) i think we've patched our sles9 kernel for
that issue. its probably the same fix thats in .17

I think one of the guys had the openib stack/patches working with
2.6.16 a few months ago on a small segment of our cluster. we havent
been too impressed with openib, as there were a few issues with it. but
its something that we're probably going to revisit at a later date. we
were just using the patches from the openfabrics svn repo.
