We probably build the module, but it just didn't get installed to that
location. I don't think we install the kernel module to /lib/modules/...
on 'make install'. If you ran configure without any arguments, I think
it would go in /usr/local/lib/openafs/. You could copy that .ko to the
appropriate place, but...

Are you on Debian or Ubuntu or similar? You should be running
this through the packaging, via module-assistant or dkms or something.
If you have the openafs-client and related packages installed, and also
manually install via 'configure ; make ; make install', that's going to
make things rather confusing.
