I just installed 1.4.1 onto three machines, two of which are domU Xen
instances, from the Debian source packages. The kernel module produced
by module-assistant failed to load:
openafs: Unknown symbol force_evtchn_callback
openafs: Unknown symbol xen_features
These symbols are EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, and the OpenAFS module says
MODULE_LICENSE("http://www.openafs.org/dl/license10.html");
I decided to throw caution to the wind and change the license to
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); This gave me a working kernel module.
This is mostly an FYI because this is obviously not a proper solution,
just please don't send the OpenAFS DMCA enforcement lawyers after me. :)
