All,

Thanks for all the tips and input!  I recompiled the AFS 1.1.1
distribution in its entirety, after applying the suggested patch to
osi_vfs.h.  Things work fine now.

Originally, I had just rebuilt the kernel module and tried running the
precompiled RPMs.  That combination does NOT work.

On a slightly different subject, has anyone tried using the 2.4.7 ext3
patch alongside afs?
