       Hi Horst,
	Thanks for your reply. This is an input from one of our

Hello Sabah,

Since I upgraded to Mac OS 10.4.1 at the weekend OpenAFS has stopped 
working.  I tried starting it by hand with the following result:

kextload: kld_load_from_memory() failed for module 
/var/db/openafs/etc/afs.kext/Contents/MacOS/afs
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension 
/var/db/openafs/etc/afs.kext
load failed for extension /var/db/openafs/etc/afs.kext
 (run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)
AFS kernel extensions failed to initialize. Skipping AFS startup.

My copy of OpenAFS is from 8 August 2004.

I tried upgrading to the latest MacOS 10.3 version from the website, as it 
is at least newer than mine (1 Oct. 2004), but the upgrade failed.  Here 
is the relevant bit of the install.log:

  ...   Removing obsoleted files

to unsuccessfully Install package OpenAFS

I hope I can get a speedy resolution to this problem, as it is stopping me 
from working.

Thanks,
Joe
