[OpenAFS] Install OpenAFS on ppc64?

[Ting-jen Yen]

Hello,

  I know that judging from those error code -1 of the debug output,
it looks like the problem is about module.  However, I can see
openafs module from lsmod even after the failure.  'dmesg' also shows:

Cache bypass pathed libafs module init.

 Moreover, as I mentioned, I compiled those RPMs from the SRPM, and
all of those RPMs are ppc64 arch.
(Though I did notice when I used 'file' to check those binary files,
more of them are reported as 32-bit.  The module itself is 64-bit.)

Regards,
Ting-jen
