I'm having trouble installing AFS on a Solaris 2.5 machine.  Specifically,
at page 3-19 of the 3.4a installation guide, I do

   /usr/sbin/modload /kernel/fs/afs

and get a screen full of error messages culminating in "panic: data fault"
and an automatic reboot of the machine.

I checked that I copied /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs.o to /kernel/fs/afs
correctly.  We added "afs" in slot 105 of /etc/name_to_sysnum.
It may be relevant that I tried to execute the modload instruction once
before rebooting the machine, but was told that 105 was already in use.
After rebooting the machine, the "panic: data fault" message is a consistent
result of the modload instruction.

I get the impression from this group that a lot of people are running AFS
on Solaris 2.5.  Did anyone else have an unusual install problem?

Thanks,
