[OpenAFS] More Info - RedHat 7.3 with new 2.4.18-17 kernel

[Troy Dawson]

Howdy,
Incase this helps anyone, or saves anyone some time.
I have RedHat 7.3, and updated to their latest errata kernel (2.4.18-17.7.x). 
  I did what was already said.  I first recompiled the 7.3 rpm's hopeing that 
RedHat didn't mess too much with this kernel.  As you already know, they did, 
and I got the same error already shown when loading the module

----------
/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.4.18-17.7.x-i686.mp.o: unresolved symbol 
sys_call_table
/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.4.18-17.7.x-i686.mp.o:
Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
       and it has unresolved symbols.  Contact the module supplier for
       assistance, only they can help you.
----------

So I then recompiled the 8.0 rpm's, double checking to make sure that patch 
was in there and would complile.  Well, here's the error now that you get when 
you try to load in the module.

-------------
/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.4.18-17.7.x-i686.mp.o: unresolved symbol 
kallsyms_symbol_to_address
/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.4.18-17.7.x-i686.mp.o:
Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
       and it has unresolved symbols.  Contact the module supplier for
       assistance, only they can help you.
------------

I hope this helps someone.

On a side note.  I'm pretty sure some official people from OpenAFS have 
complained to RedHat, but is there anything that some of us users can do to 
let them know that they should stop doing things like this, just because 
OpenAFS isn't GPL'ed?  I'm sure it's breaking more things than AFS, but for me 
this is the only thing that I'm seeing.
