Hello,

I'm trying to install openafs client on a fedora 9 computer.
I installed the rpm's in the www.openafs.org site.
However there is no suitable kmod rpm for my kernel, therefore I don't have
openafs kernel module.

So I built a kernel module from source, and I got a file named "libafs.ko".
I then renamed this file to openafs.ko.
But when I "insmod openafs.ko", lsmod shows libafs, and not openafs.

I belive that is the cause of this error message:

[root@afs openafs-1.5.56]# /etc/init.d/openafs-client start
Updating CellServDB:
Starting openafs-client: FATAL: Module openafs not found.
failed to load openafs kernel module.                      [FAILED]

Is there any way to build/load "openafs.ko" instead of "libafs.ko"?

Thank you,
