[OpenAFS] Can't Upgrade - please help

[Jenkins, Steven]

It's not clear from your message if you are preserving your CellServDB
and ThisCell across the upgrade (ie, rm -rf of /usr/afs and /usr/vice
will *not* preserve them).  Could you confirm that?

Hi,
I have a very annoying problem in upgrading my afs-server.

It's running quite nice with linux-2.4.22-AC4 and openafs-1.2.8 . I've
tried several times to upgrade to  linux-2.4.23-pre8/9 and
openafs-1.2.10 but it always fails with an error message Can't mount AFS
on /afs(22) and then lots of Lost contact with volume location server
....

Before reinstalling I have done
/bin/rm -rf /etc/sysconfig/afs /usr/afs /usr/etc/openafs /bin/rm -rf
/usr/include/afs /usr/lib/afs /usr/lib/libafs* /bin/rm -rf
/usr/sbin/afsd /usr/vice

I have kept the partitions /vicepa /vicepb and /vicepc though.

Any help is very much appreciated,

Helmut Jarausch

P.S.  We had stability problems (especially when running an OpenGL
application) with smp kernels upto 2.4.23-pre7. The recent 2.4.23-pre8/9
are looking promising.
