[Mike Lee]

Thank you

After the file seek over several packets

afsmodname is not in openafs-kernel-source-1.2.3-rh7.2.1.i386.rpm , but
openafs-source-1.2.3-rh7.2.1.src.rpm
however the packet openafs-source-1.2.3-rh7.2.1.src.rpm fail to be
installed.

ok, but it is very common that to recompile the kernel, for example,
when you want to install Oracle.
could make it more flexible to install. I guess it will depend
distribution too much.

BTW:
why I do not install with rpm packet, because it fail during install
client packet(script error).

BTW2:
when I use the libafs built from openafs-1.2.3-src.tar.gz, It also get
the same or more.
In my opinion, recompile should not have that problem, everything is new
and design for current running system
