[OpenAFS] OpenAFS with gentoo and 2.6.19/20

[Gert Burger]

Hi

I would like to know if anyone has actually gotten that combination to 
work? I have tried the tasklist patches etc but to no avail.

Another thing is, which might be related, is that aklog fails like so:

nix g # aklog -d
Authenticating to cell cs.up.ac.za (server apiary.cs.up.ac.za).
We've deduced that we need to authenticate to realm CS.UP.AC.ZA.
Getting tickets: afs/cs.up.ac.za@CS.UP.AC.ZA
Principal not found, trying alternate service name: afs@CS.UP.AC.ZA
Using Kerberos V5 ticket natively
About to resolve name admin.admin to id in cell cs.up.ac.za.
Id 32766
Set username to admin.admin
Setting tokens. admin.admin /  @ CS.UP.AC.ZA
aklog: unable to obtain tokens for cell cs.up.ac.za (status: 11862788).

a strace of that gives:
open("/proc/fs/openafs/afs_ioctl", O_RDWR) = 4
ioctl(4, CAPI_REGISTER or SNDCTL_COPR_LOAD, 0xbff7b1e4) = -1 EIO 
(Input/output error)

This is when libafs is loaded successfully(On a 2.6.19 machine), but a 
cat /proc/fs/openafs/CellServDB on that same machine yields a seg fault 
with this in dmesg:
