Well, yes.  Depending on how your kernel was built, 1.4.3rc1 may not build 
against newer Linux kernels; some fixes were recently done and will appear 
in rc2.  In the meantime, you should be aware that having applied a patch, 
you will need to run regen.sh in the top level to update the configure 
script; the patch includes only source files.  I can't promise that this 
will work against the abbreviated tree contained in openafs-kernel-source.
