It basically try to convert the old cache file to 
/var/vice/cache to /var/vice/cache/Dxx, it fails to created files there,
maybe it runs out of inodes?

I have used RPM kernel module and 
I rebuilt the kernel module on my machine which turns out to be the same as the
prebuilt libafs-2.4.9-21-i386.o

I meant 2.4.9-21.
I am having the same problem with 2.4.9-21:
libafs-2.4.9-21-i686.o: Note: modules without a GPL compatible license cannot use GPLONLY_ symbols
