We had been using OpenAFS 1.2.9 under whatever the previous kernel was for
RHL 7.3 and we upgraded to kernel 2.4.20-27.7.  OpenAFS would no longer
work, we we upgraded to 1.2.10.

Here are the RPMs installed
openafs-1.2.10-rh7.3.1
openafs-client-1.2.10-rh7.3.1
openafs-krb5-1.2.10-rh7.3.1
openafs-kernel-source-1.2.10-rh7.3.1
openafs-compat-1.2.10-rh7.3.1
openafs-server-1.2.10-rh7.3.1
openafs-devel-1.2.10-rh7.3.1
openafs-kernel-1.2.10-rh7.3.1

We then typed the following commands in the OpenAFS directory

./configure --enable-transarc-paths
make
make install

After that, when trying to start OpenAFS it would complain that there was no
kernel module in /usr/vice/etc/modload.  There was however this file in the
OpenAFS directory

src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.4.20-27.7-SP/libafs-2.4.20-27.7.o

so it was copied to /usr/vice/etc/modload

Now when we try to start OpenAFS we get this:

Hmm...  I can't seem to find an AFS kernel module suitable for your Linux
kernel.  That means you will need to build or obtain a suitable module.
The following information may be of some use in obtaining assistance:
CPU Type:       686.intel.8
Linux version:  2.4.20-27.7 #1 Thu Dec 11 15:04:48 EST 2003
RedHat release: Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla)
Symbol versions:
  iget4      1e83f57b
  iget4      1e83f57b
  sock_create 766c165d
Did not find matching module in SymTable
Starting AFS services.....
afsd: All AFS daemons started.

Any suggestions as to what went wrong?  Thanks!
