Hi,

I have tried to install OpenAFS 1.1.0 Client with Linux 2.4.4.
on a Intel PII SMP machine.
I compiled it  with gcc 2.95.3 
The Client starts, initializes its cache and shows

Starting AFS services.....
afsd: My home cell is 'my.home.cell'
SScall(137, 28)=0 afsd: Forking rx listener daemon.
afsd: Forking rx callback listener.

afsd: Forking AFS daemon.
afsd: Forking Check Server Daemon.
afsd: Forking 3 background daemons.

afsd: Forking trunc-cache daemon.
afsd: Mounting the AFS root on '/afs', flags: 0.


Doing a

hikau1b:/usr/vice/etc # df

results in a

Segmentation fault

and some console-messages:

I am running SuSE 7.2 with self-made Kernel 2.4.4 (Sources from
kernel.org)
Same happens with SuSE 7.2 Kernel 2.4.4-64GB-SMP.

Same thing with SuSE 7.2 and self-made Kernel 2.4.2 works, except afs.rc
stop doesn't kill all daemons.

Same thing with SuSE 7.2 Kernel 2.2.19-SMP results in pressing
RESET-Button :-((.

The problem is, that some other, bigger Software we are running, has a
similar problem: It runs only with kernel
2.2.19 and 2.4.4

Any hints ?

Thanks
