I'm trying to install OpenAFS on a more or less stock Debian 3.0 system
and I have run into some problems.  First, I had never compiled a kernel
on this system before, so I had to download a kernel source package from
debian.org.  I hope that the source matches the binary kernel I am
using.  I followed the instructions in
/usr/share/doc/openafs-modules-source/README.modules:

--------------------------- Begin README ---------------------------
		       Building Kernel Modules
----------------------------------------

 The easiest way to get AFS modules is to install prebuilt modules.
Fore example if you are running kernel 2.2.18 you might try

apt-get install openafs-modules-2.2.18

If this doesn't work, then you will need to build your own modules.
This means having kernel sources available.  You should install a
kernel sources package and untar it in /usr/src.  Then, install
openafs-modules-source.

apt-get install openafs-modules-source

Next, unpack openafs-modules-source

cd /usr/src
tar xzf openafs.tar.gz

Now, change into your kernel source tree.  You should then create a
.config file; the easiest way to do this is to run make menuconfig or
to copy in a kernel configuration from the same version of the kernel.
Debian kernel packages store a copy of their kernel configuration in
/boot/config.version_number.  Finally build the modules

make-kpkg configure
make-kpkg modules_image

You may need to use the --append_version switch to add version suffixes
like -686 if your modules install into /lib/modules/version-686.
Ignore any errors about genchanges.sh failing.  An openafs-modules deb
should be created.  Use dpkg -i to install this version.
--------------------------- End README ---------------------------

I couldn't find a prebuilt version of the openafs-modules, so I copied a
the config file I found in /boot/ and ran the make-kpkg commands.  After
installing the resultant modules deb and the openafs-client deb I tried
to run '/etc/init.d/openafs-client start', which resulted in the
following message: 

AFS module /lib/modules/2.4.18-686/fs/openafs.o does not exist. Not starting AFS.
Please consider building kernel modules using instructions in
/usr/share/doc/openafs-client/README.modules

so I ran a find command and found openafs.o in /lib/modules/2.4.18/fs/.
So I made a symlink to where the openafs client expected the .o file to
be and tried to start the client again, which resulted in the following
message:

Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
      and it has unresolved symbols.  Contact the module supplier for
      assistance, only they can help you.

I did scan through the mailing list archives a bit, but I was unable to
find a solution to my problem.  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
