So the 2.4.6-2 kernel was from Mandrake? I believe that Mandrake
kernels are not "supported" by OpenAFS (at least until someone
identifies the actual patch that causes the problem). I'm not
surprised it works with the Red Hat 2.4.3-12 kernel; that has been
tested. It should also work with a kernel.org kernel, even though you
never tried it.
The server doesn't depend on the kernel module; it's all user-space.
So that should work on just about anything.
