Hi
    Thanks for your response.

    I just tried starting it by hand (/etc/rc.d/init.d/afs start) and it 
froze the whole system. Had to do a hard reboot.

    My /var/log/messages does not contain any afs related messages.

    One probably unrelated fact :

    A few weeks ago, my afs sysadmin doubled my filespace from 100 MB to 
200 MB. The cache setting for openafs is 100 MB. The previous version of 
openafs (1.2.4 rpm from openafs.org) worked fine, though. In any case, 
the cache should control the total amount data that would be cached on 
my HD - should affect only speed of file accesses).

    Which kernel are 1.2.6 rpm's compiled against ? If it is 2.4.19, 
would the $EXTRAVERSION (I set it in the kernel Makefile  to 
LAPTOP-CUSTOM-17SEP2002) cause problems ?

Thanks,

MS

PS : I will now try replacing the rebuilt rpm's with the "official" rpms 
from openafs.org and see what happens.
