I am working on 3 different x86-64 node types: Newsiys 2-way and Celestica 2-way and 4-way. On the latter (Quartets), I have been advised by AMD to look to build and use NUMA enabled kernels - otherwise I get non-scalable STREAMS performance.
It doesn't make any difference. Even the "SMP" kernel is a NUMA kernel these days. It was only different in the old days (SLES8 before SP2) There is still a k_numa kernel, but it only exists for easier updates and is identical to the k_smp kernel.
Any ideas shat I am doing wrong ?
Most likely you didn't build against the correct source tree and the modversions check is failing. See the README in the source tree on how to correctly build third party modules. -Andi
