I pinged all the hosts at the top of my CellServDB file and they are
alive.

Usually, it takes about 3-5 seconds for the AFS services to start.

I tried to run ./afsd after insmod as described in my previous email. The
machine just hung - no o/p, nothing.

I tried pinging it while it was in that catatonic state and there was 100
% packet loss.
