it supposedly works with 1.3.71. but i have not been able to get the
kernel modules going. see my note from last week, which no one answered.

someone at ncsu supposedly has PAGs going (see link below). i'm actually
only in need of the client at this time. is there a way to get that
going without PAGs? 

here is the text of my note from last week.:

hi all,
i'm trying to get just the client going on linux 2.6.8.
kernel is running fine.

(new install)
i patched the openafs source with the hooks for PAGs from here:
http://www.linux.ncsu.edu/projects/openafs-rpms/
had to hand apply one of them...

built the openafs source by hand via:

../configure --with-afs-sysname=i386_linux26
--with-linux-kernel-headers=/usr/src/linux --enable-transarc-paths
--enable-kernel-module
make
make install

/usr/vice/etc/modload is empty

so i tried copying:
cp libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.8.1afs-SP/libafs-2.6.8.1afs.ko
/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.6.8.1afs.o
and
cp libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.8.1afs-SP/libafs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.8.1afs/kernel/fs/

but when i try to load the module i get module not found. even if i
specify the path directly.

/usr/vice/etc/ looks like this:
cacheinfo CellServDB.rpmsave modload ThisCell.rpmsave
cacheinfo.rpmsave libafs-2.6.8.1afs.ko rc_afs
CellServDB libafs-2.6.8.1afs.mp.ko ThisCell


in src/libafs/ i have MODLOAD blah blah for SP, and MP. should there be
a UP in there?

this is a uniprocessor i686 P3 coppermine.

any ideas?

TIA

works other than PAGs" (which,
for desktop use, is likely fine), but I don't know what version of the
code this was talking about. I'd also be interested in knowing.
