Hello All,
   Have mercy on me, I'm a newbie....:(
I have installed the openafs client code for redhat EWS 4 per the info 
give in the linux quick start guide. I'm am trying to get my client to 
run in an existing AFS cell, pitt.edu. Can anyone give me a hand and 
help me get the client to run.

   When I try to start the client I get the following error:
       ./openafs-client start
       Starting openafs-client: afsd: All AFS daemons started.
       afsd: Can't mount AFS on /afs(22)

   I also get the following entry in /var/log/messages:
Dec  8 11:56:06 noc kernel: You must reload the AFS kernel extensions 
before remounting AFS.

Uname -a

I installed the following rpm's
openafs-1.4.0-rhel4.1.i386.rpm
openafs-client-1.4.0-rhel4.1.i386.rpm
openafs-kernel-1.4.0-2.6.9_22.EL_1.i686.rpm

I ran lsmod and the kernel mod seems to be loaded:
