Then you were lucky before.  Reiserfs breaks the inode abstraction,
and iget() doesn't work right.  I don't know why it worked before, but
it shouldn't.  And you _will_ run into problems down the road.

Another thing to verify is whether the inode initialization function
in OpenAFS matches the init_once() in linux/fs/inode.c.  It's possible
that mandrake has (yet another) weird kernel patch, and that could
cause problems.
