Note: MLNX_OFED provides kernel module RPM packages with KMP support for RHEL and
SLES. For other operating systems, kernel module RPM packages are provided only for the
operating systems' default kernel. In this case, the group RPM packages have the supported
kernel version in their package's name.

If you have an operating system different than RHEL or SLES, or you have installed a kernel that
is not supported by default in MLNX_OFED, you can use the mlnx_add_kernel_support.sh script
to build MLNX_OFED for your kernel.
The script will automatically build the matching group RPM packages for your kernel so that you
can still install MLNX_OFED via yum.
Please note that the resulting MLNX_OFED repository will contain unsigned RPMs, therefore,
you should set 'gpgcheck=0' in the repository configuration file.
Install the desired group.
