[OpenAFS] rpm failure on opensuse 10.3

Everything I thought I knew has just been invalidated about getting openafs 
running on Suse. Yesterday, kernel updates on my opensuse 10.2 machine forced 
a reinstall of openafs. Eventually it worked once I figure out it was not 
reading the same configuration files.

Now, I am attempting to install using the same rpm on opensuse 10.3. I do have 
the kernel source, and I have done make clone-config make prepare make 
module_prepare. But when I attempt to 

rpm -U openafs-kmp-default-1.4.6_2.6.18.2_34-4.1.i582

I get 

error: Failed dependancies:
  kernel(vmlinux) = 9f092688ebb50b27 is needed by ...

I am assuming that this rpm has ties to a specific kernel -- even more 
specific than a 2.6 kernel. The rpm install of this afs worked on a 2.6.18.. 
kernel yesterday. Today, it is failing on a 2.6.22.16-0.1 kernel. Yuck.

sometimes, Suse is such a PITA..
