I'm trying install openafs and can i, on server, compile openafs without kernel module?
Yes you can. Openafs-Servers do not require the kernel-module. They do not need AFS-client-functionality at all.
Yes, you can compile the user-mode components without building a kernel module. Configure with --disable-kernel-module
Whether you can run a fileserver without a kernel module loaded depends on the platform and on which fileserver variant you are using. The inode fileserver requires the kernel module to be loaded, because it makes use of several special system calls provided by that module. It does not require the cache manager to be running (i.e. you don't have to run afsd). The namei fileserver does not require the kernel module at all.
