This sounds like the problem I had a few days ago. I ended up moving
back to a redhat kernel (2.4.3-12) and recompiling the openafs-1.1.1 suite
from the source rpm. Everything seems to work now.
I had started out with OAFS-1.0.4 on the server with a kernel.org 2.4.5. I
then tried to upgrade to a 2.4.6-2 rpm kernel and compile OAFS 1.1.1. The
server worked as far as I could tell (except for the vos syncvldb core dump)
but the client would not recognice the afs directory. It simple gave the error
mentioned below.
By the way, the 2.4.6-2 kernel rpm was NOT from redhat, but the 2.4.3-12
version is. I have not tried it with a virgin kernel.org kernel. Nor have I had
time to go through the redhat patches one by one to see what breaks it. I just
wanted to mention this since his is not an isolated incident.
