Hello,

I am running into problems compiling on SLES 10 with openafs 1.4.4.  It 
stops me with the following error:

checking whether to build osi_vfs.h... checking for linux kernel module 
build works... no
configure: error: Fix problem or use --disable-kernel-module...
See `config.log' for more details.

The only way that I can get it to complete is to use the 
--disable-kernel-module but I am not sure if that is OK.

MAIN QUESTIONS:  Is SLES 10 a good platform for openafs?  SLES 9?  Is 
there a better (more used) flavor of Linux that would make things easier?

Is openafs 1.4.4 the best level to use for SLES 10?  SLES 9?  PowerPC or 
intel?
