You cannot get much information from the afsd because these are only
dummy daemons which once in their life do the afs system call and never
come back. They just create a kernel thread which sits in the kernel and
waits for work.
You should have a look into /var/log/messages whether there have
happened any oops. If there is nothing wrong with your configuration
(directory /afs exists, CellServDB, ThisCell and cacheinfo are correct)
it's mostly a kernel crash (oops). If you call from another machine
"rxdebug <your machine's name> 7001 -all" it should show you the
connections to the database servers and the server which hosts root.afs.
If this is not the case you may have a routing problem.
