Hi Jesse, Thanks for the tip. I have loaded it into the kernel by running the insmod CLI and now I can launch the "ovs-vswitchd" CLI successfully. Then I did this,
ovs-vsctl show 6a792107-75e2-44fb-a3f0-019c29042283 It didn't print out the version number as previous release, ovs-vsctl show a5532ff9-1024-4d26-856f-09e8dcc3d67d ovs_version: "1.4.0+build0" Is this expected or I still miss something here? Thanks.

Building it as a module in the kernel doesn't cause it to automatically load. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
