It's got to go into the actual kernel first.  I didn't think that had
happened yet.

Are you on ia64?

This seems to keep getting lost in these threads, so let me be very
explicit:  OpenAFS 1.3 fully supports PAGs on Linux 2.6 on x86, and I
believe on most other common platforms.  If they're not working for you,
you have a real issue that you should be trying to fix; it *should* be
working.  I am using OpenAFS 1.3 with Linux 2.6 right now, with fully
functional PAGs.

For some reason, the word didn't get out about this, and I've been
correcting people for a while now who thought that OpenAFS had just bailed
on the PAG issue with 2.6.
