I'm a relative newcomer to myrinet, and I have a question.

I'm attempting to run GM-1.5 on a cluster of dual-processor Pentium-4 nodes
under RedHat-7.1.  I compiled the 2.4.14 kernel with kgcc, and compiled gm
with CC="kgcc -I/usr/src/linux/include", so as to get the include files
associated with the correct kernel.  I'm also running mpi-1.2.1..7, compiled
with gcc.

GM appears to work OK at first, but usually when I run a real application on
it, a gm_board_info process is started by root, and goes into a disk hang
(ps reports status of D).  At about the same time, the following appears in
/var/log/messages:

I'm not sure what is going on, but my myrinet does not appear to be working.
Could someone help to enlighten me on this?

Thanks,
