[OpenAFS] Strange Behavior of Openafs-1.1.1

[Derek Atkins]

So you compiled OpenAFS 1.1.1 from source on your system
against kernel 2.4.7, installed the module, and it still
didn't work?  Does the module actually load properly?
Does AFS actually get mounted?  Did you "mkdir /afs" before
you ran afsd?
