[OpenAFS] starting OpenAFS on OpenSSI

Hello all,

I managed to compile OpenAFS for the OpenSSI kernel.

when I try to start the service with "/init.d/afs start" the script is
trying to load "libafs-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_afs_ssi_9smp-i686" instead of
"libafs-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_afs_ssi_9smp-i686.mp".

I can load "libafs-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_afs_ssi_9smp-i686.mp" using
insmod. Other then the warning "will taint the kernel: no license" it
seems to load without any further complaints.

- How can I convince /init.d/afs to load the mp module ?
- How can I get rid of that warning ?

Also, can I start everything "by hand" ? (I only want to get the client
running).
for example, can I load the kernel module with insmod first,  then start
the bosserver (does the bosserver need to be started ? and then afsd ? 

What else do I need to start and what commandline options do I need to
use ?

thanks,

Ron
