Hi,
	I recompiled 2.4.20-8 in order to get acpi support on my laptop. Now I
would like to get afs to work. I tried both the binary release and the
sources that I recompiled using rpmbuild -bb 


In both cases, I get the following:

[root@localhost redhat]# service afs start
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:       1586.intel.2
Linux version:  2.4.20-8 #7 Wed May 21 19:26:33 CEST 2003
RedHat release: Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
Symbol versions:
  iget4      7b369432
  iget4      7b369432
  sock_create 7a0451b7
Did not find matching module in SymTable
Failed to load AFS client, not starting AFS services.

Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
      and it has unresolved symbols.  The module may be trying to access
      GPLONLY symbols but the problem is more likely to be a coding or
      user error.  Contact the module supplier for assistance, only they
      can help you.



note that all the drivers fail with these types of messages. This one
has the fewest....
thanks for any  help.
