I just built openafs-1.2.10-rh9.0.1.src.rpm on a machine running kernel 
2.4.20-24_31.rh9.at (google: atrpms). I had to disable krb5support to 
make it build (probably because I have KTHKRB/Heimdal installed) and I 
had to do

 cd /usr/vice/etc/modload
 ln -s libafs-2.4.20-24_31.rh9.at-athlon.o libafs-2.4.20-24_31.rh9.at.o

to make it find the kernel module. I suppose that's bug...
