Dear OpenAFS gurus, 

I have updated my RedHat 8.0 distribution with the 2.4.18-17.8.0 version
of the kernel. After reboot I have the message "Failed to load AFS
client, not starting AFS services". 

Thus I have recompiled the openafs source from the latest stable version
of the tar-gzipped file but the error message remains the same. 

Note that AFS works well with the previous 2.4.18-14 kernel. 
Note also that libafs-2.4.18-17.8.0.o and libafs-2.4.18-17.8.0.mp.o
exist in /usr/vice/etc/modload BUT /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs.map
contains :

/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.4.18-17.8.0.o: unresolved symbol
kallsyms_symbol_to_address
/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.4.18-17.8.0.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.

Thus any hint welcome.
