The kernel module for the latest EL6 kernel hasn't been built yet, =
presumably because that kernel is not yet available in the ordinary =
CentOS updates channel.

To build yourself, make sure these are installed (probably a bit more =
than you need):

rpm-build
make
pam-devel
gcc
flex
bison
ncurses-devel
perl
redhat-rpm-config
autoconf
automake
fuse-devel
krb5-devel

Then rebuild the srpm:

rpmbuild --rebuild --define "build_modules 1" --define "kernvers =
2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64" =
http://www.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.6.13/openafs-1.6.13-1.src.rpm
