    Something doesn’t work here. When I try to start openvswith or modprobe, I get:

    Module openvswitch not found.

    Nevermind that – fix was to reboot. This was due to a prior yum update from centos 6.2 -> 6.5.

    Thank you for the great instructions. with the latest version 2.3.90 from git I ran into an issue when executing “rpmbuild -bb rhel/openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec”
    I got an error “Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /etc/depmod.d/openvswitch.conf”
    This is solved following the link http://www.fengyin.org/archives/53.html

    When I run the command:
    rpmbuild -bb rhel/openvswitch.spec

    I get the message:
    error: failed to stat //rhel/openvswitch.spec: No such file or directory

    I am on CentOS 6.10 x86_64 as root user.

      I’m guessing the path your in isn’t the same as mine.
