least this is how I read the following:

This is happening because there isn't a kmod available for your kernel. =

kmod-openafs.x86_64 0:1.4.12-1.1.2.6.18_194.26.1.el5 (a module for the =
2.6.18-194.26 kernel) and so requires that you have that kernel on your =
system.

Stephen Quinney is now looking after the RPM build system that feeds =
dl.openafs.org, but I'm pretty sure that we're no longer building 1.4.12 =
modules, which probably explains why you can't find them. Have you =
considered upgrading? 1.4.12 is very old.
