You can add "-disable-system" to the ovs-vswitchd options and it will remove
that error message about the kernel module not being there.

Yes, that message just means that the kernel datapath is not working.
If you did

INSTALL.userspace.
I had set this, but still i was seeing the message.
Because of above failure i moved to kernel datapath, but if there is way
to make userspace work it will help me (at least in initial debugging).
I have not setup

You're right. I was focused on the content of the message and missed the
subject line. My guess is that the "datapath_type" is not being being set to
"netdev", as described in INSTALL.userspace.

Correct, Open vSwitch requires a datapath (kernel module) to forward
traffic, and a userspace daemon to configure the kernel module. There
are userspace only implementations of the datapath, but they are only
used for testing and are not support
Justin, then it's not a userspace vswitch, right?

Yes, you need to build the kernel module as described in INSTALL.Linux. The
important part is the "--with-linux" option in the configure line. Make sure
that points to your kernel sources.

Hi All,
I am new to openvswitch, want to compile and install userspace vswitch, i
am using ubuntu/64bit AMD machine.
I followed all the steps on INSTALL.Linux and INSTALL.Linux.
* ovsdb-server is running smoothly.
* ovs-vswitchd is able to connect to ovsdb-server.
but i see below error when i
