I've figured out I have to have running afsd to have afslog working.
Probably nothing new to you. :(

But, using 2.4.19 kernel I can most often start afsd, but rarely (like
right now) I get:

mount("AFS", "/afs", "afs", , 0)        = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
write(1, "afsd: Can\'t mount AFS on /afs(22"..., 34afsd: Can't mount AFS on /afs(22)
) = 34
munmap(0x40014000, 4096)                = 0
_exit(1)                                = ?


I guess there's an empty value on the mount("AFS", "/afs", "afs", , 0) line.

I've meant --enable-redhat-buildsys , but it seems I really don't need it.

2.4.19 works fine for me, with 2.4.20 I cannot load the module at all.
