I tried this, but it doesn't seem to fix my problem.  Unresolved
symbols remained, for example from afs_osi.c.  Diving into this source
file, I discovered tasklist_lock was being used only when
LINUX_KEYRING_SUPPORT was not enabled.  Enabling this in the kernel
seemed to fix my problem, even without the suggested correction.  "nm
osi_probe.o" tells me "w tasklist_lock".
Is enabling keyring support in the kernel mandatory for running
OpenAFS, or am I misled?

Thanks,
