[OpenAFS-devel] Openafs on Linux RS/6000 43P-140

[tilo.buschmann@s2000.tu-chemnitz.de]

Hi

I installed Suse Linux 7.3 on a RS/6000 43P-140.
Now I am trying to get openafs working.

Everything compiles very well, I get it installed with the help
of some experience of German universities. Klog works for my cell, tokens
gives the right answer.

But "ls /afs" brings nothing, "ls /afs/something" brings an input/output-error.

Here is the whole story:

==SNIP==
amy:/home/tibu # uname -a
Linux amy 2.4.19 #3 Sun Aug 4 08:28:30 BST 2002 ppc unknown
amy:/home/tibu # klog tibu
Password:
amy:/home/tibu # tokens

Tokens held by the Cache Manager:

User's (AFS ID 39636) tokens for afs@tu-chemnitz.de [Expires Jan 30 15:40]
   --End of list--
amy:/home/tibu # ls /afs
amy:/home/tibu # ls /afs/tu-chemnitz.de
ls: /afs/tu-chemnitz.de: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler
amy:/home/tibu # 
==SNAP==


As you can see, I am using a 2.4.19 Kernel, but precompiled from

http://www.solinno.co.uk/7043-140/

Leigh Brown made some patches to the kernel, to get it worked on this
machine. I used the vanilla-kernel + his config-2.4.19 (make dep ...)
to have an useful kernel-tree.

Do you have any experience with openafs on this machine + linux?
Are there known bugs, should it work? Where can I look for errors?
