I don't know what your problem is, either. How could I? ;-)

Since you know it has something to do with the initialization just  
take a closer look at that part.
Maybe you want to debug the kernel ... I wouldn't. So, I would place  
some printks on strategic important positions in the module loading  
parts.

I presume the insertion of the AFS syscall isn't just doing what it's  
supposed to do, install the syscall.

BTW, if you have the symbols it doesn't mean you are able to use 'em.  
(e.g. jump into one of those functions)
