Did that.

Did that.

This was /usr/src/openafs-kernel-1.2.6, but no matter.

Followed the instructions to the letter. Following that, I installed the 
krb5 and kpasswd packages. However, the bootup still hangs at the same 
point as before. I found the following in the README :

"NOTE: This only works if you have your kernel compiled with symbol
version support.  Without symbol version support you will not be able
to choose kernel modules.  If you compile without kernel module ..."

Could this be a problem ? ( I do not understand what does symbol version 
support mean.). I did compile the kernel but do not remember seeing this 
option. From my .config :
# Loadable module support
#
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
CONFIG_KMOD=y

Now how do we get that ?

Thanks,
