Yes - this is caused by the Linux OpenAFS kernel module using a 
configuration interface which has been deprecated in the upstream kernel.

There are patches to fix this in rc10 - but unfortunately, they're 
conditionalised on a 2.6.16 kernel - FC5 ships with a 2.6.16 release 
candidate, but gives it a 2.6.15 version number.

You can either upgrade your kernel - FC5 now has a real 2.6.16 kernel 
available from updates, or apply the patch that is bug #29112

You'll also need the patch from bug #29122, or the alternative that was 
posted to this list earlier, to solve a problem with glibc's new setjmp 
behaviour.

Cheers,
