[OpenAFS-devel] ESTALE problem with linux 2.4.19-pre7

I'm bringing up a machine with Redhat 7.2 with the 2.4.19-pre7 kernel.  
(The newer kernel is needed for network device support.)  I've got 
version 1.2.3 of OpenAFS built from source.

I'm creating a new cell.  After creating root.afs and starting the 
client, if I do an "ls -al /afs" I get an error "ls: /afs/.: Stale NFS 
file handle".  This seems to be due to some changes in the 
link_path_walk() routine in the kernel?

Is this a known problem?

Thanks,
Kevin
