[OpenAFS] error recompiling afs module on rh8.0

[Stefano Stalio]

I have a standard RH80 Linux system - kernel 2.4.18-14 - with afs 1.2.8
working perfectly (I downloaded the rpms from your site).

For reasons too complicated to explain I tried recompiling the kernel
module. I got the source rpm -
openafs-kernel-source-1.2.8-rh8.0.1.i386.rpm - from your site and
installed it.
Then I did:

cd /usr/src/openafs-kernel-1.2.8/src
./configure (everything went OK up to here)
make

make exited trying to build the kernel module and gave the following error:

I had to modify line 18 of
/usr/src/openafs-kernel-1.2.8/src/asm/hardirq.h - which is a link to
/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/hardirq.h
from

#if CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC

to

#ifdef CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC

and everything seemed to work OK.
Now I will try to compile for kernel 2.4.20-8 - RedHat 9 - but I already
saw problems.
