Hi Bogdan. Yes our Score kernels are always compiled with modules
pm_myrinet, pm_memory, pm_shem,pm_ethernet and gm.

There are 2 reason. First not all our customers use SCore and it saves
supporting 2 kernels. The pm and gm modules can be interchanged
quite easily via our pm and gmm startup scripts (/etc/init.d/pm stop; 
./etc/init.d/gm start ).

Secondly we alway need to run the gm utility packages if there is
a problem with a Myrinet card. - Myricom require information if a card
has to be sent back.

I hope having pm and gm didn't confuse anybody. You don't need the gm
module to run Score over Myrinet.
