[OpenAFS] No check server daemon in client

[Daniel.Wicke@physik.uni-wuppertal.de]

Hi all,

when setting up openafs on a newly installed system (SuSE 8.1 on PIV
hyperthreading) I got the folloing error:

# /etc/init.d/afs start
Starting AFS services.....
afsd: No check server daemon in client.
afsd: All AFS daemons started.
afsd: Can't mount AFS on /afs(22)

First I installed openafs-1.2.8 form my tar-ball, which is working on
other (dual PIII) systems with the same kernel.
Recompiling  openafs-1.2.8 or compiling 1.2.9a didn't help me.
In fact I get real crashes instead:
# /etc/init.d/afs  start
Starting AFS services.....
/etc/init.d/afs: line 292:  1191 Segmentation fault
/usr/vice/etc/afsd ${AFSD_OPTIONS}

Some part were started, though:
# ps uax

Has there been any conclusion on the reason of/solution to the first error
which has been discussed earlier in this list.
Any other suggestions how to fix this?
