What you can see there is that your basic initialization (call 36 
AFSOP_BASIC_INIT) goes wrong and returns EINVAL.

It is possible that your system isn't correctly recognized by the 
configure script.
Can you set the sysname in configure? because in afs_call.c there are a 
lot of system dependent parts "guarded" by #ifdefs depending on the 
platform.

I can't see any other way (after spending a few minutes ... so don't 
take this very seriously!!) that call could end in an EINVAL other than 
not getting to the right "if .. else if" part.
Call 36 doesn't set the return code so your 22 (EINVAL) must be getting 
from somewhere else to the return. The ony way I can think of is the 
default path in that function which means ... your 36 hasn't been 
recognized for whatever reason.

If you don't like debugging that, you can try recompiling with a 
non-SuSE 4GB kernel.
A clean one from kernel.org should work. (I don't trust those patches 
anyway ... :-) )

Is anybody else running that kernel with an AFS client? (I mean the 4GB 
SuSE kernel)
