[OpenAFS] Kernel panic RHEL 5

[Jeff Blaine]

This has to be something really dumb on my part, but I can't
make sense of it.

RHEL 5.7 x86_64 2.6.18-274.3.1.el5 SMP on a brand new box.

I've tried both of the following, separately, with the
same result:

1. OpenAFS 1.4.14 binaries built from source 20 days ago, copied
    verbatim from a working RHEL 5.7 x86_64 2.6.18-274.3.1.el5 SMP
    box.

2. Fresh OpenAFS 1.4.14 build from source *on* this box,
    then installed

sh /etc/init.d/afs.rc start => kernel panic

Rebooting to single user, the insmod works fine and shows:

Oct 14 23:36:34 rcf-monitor kernel: libafs: module license 
'http://www.openafs.org/dl/license10.html' taints kernel.
Oct 14 23:36:34 rcf-monitor kernel: Found system call table at 
0xffffffff8028ff40 (pattern scan)
Oct 14 23:36:34 rcf-monitor kernel: Using keyrings, rather than hooking 
system calls
Oct 14 23:36:34 rcf-monitor kernel: Found 32-bit system call table at 
0xffffffff80291280 (pattern scan)
Oct 14 23:36:34 rcf-monitor kernel: Using keyrings, rather than hooking 
system calls

What I can see of the panic on the console is shown in the
screenshot here:

If I build 1.4.14.1 from source, it works fine on this box
it seems.

I cannot explain how 1.4.14 is working fine on our other
similar boxes, but not this one.
