As I asked before (and you STILL have not answered), are you SURE you
installed the correct VERSION of OpenAFS?  What does this give you:

        rpm -q openafs-kernel

I've never used apt-get for Red Hat, so I have absolutely no idea what
it's going to do.

It would -- ONLY IF IT PULLED IN THE RH7.2 VERSION.  If it pulled in
the RH7.3 RPMs, then no, it wouldn't install that file.  And no, you
should not try to extract a single file from the RPM -- in fact, you
should install the openafs-kernel RPMs wholesale because you need the
proper configuration files in place.

It would help if you actually answered the questions I was asking
rather than continuing to explain your problem.  I know what your
problem is -- I'm trying to verify my belief.
