[OpenAFS-devel] OpenAFS server 1.3.80 on x86_64

[Ulrich Schwickerath]

Hi, Onime, 
I successfully rebuild the rpms from your sources. The startup script loads 
libafs-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.XFSsmp-amd64
into the kernel. If I try to start afsd with that I get 
 /etc/init.d/afs start
Found libafs-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.XFSsmp-amd64.o from SymTable... Loading...
Starting AFS services.....
afsd: Error -1 in basic initialization.
afsd: Error enabling dynroot support.
Adding cell 'fzk.de': error -1
Adding cell 'rl.ac.uk': error -1
Adding cell 'hep.man.ac.uk': error -1
...
If I load the other one, libafs-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.XFSsmp-amd64.mp I see exactly 
the same problem that I reported. I'm running on a dual opteron box as you 
are. Can you tell me which of the two modules you are actually using ? (mp or 
not). If you are also using the mp version, I should probably try to exchange 
my kernel. 2.4.25 looks like a vanilla kernel, is that correct ? 

Thank's a lot,
Ulrich
