Setup:
RHEL-5.1, kernel 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen (same with kernel lacking xen support)
openafs kernel module is from 
kmod-openafs-xen-1.4.6-2.2.6.18_53.1.13.el5.i686.rpm
available from the openafs site.

Symptom: when performing a "modprobe openafs" the system log shows:
===
Found system call table at 0xc06024c0 (pattern scan)
Address 0xc06024c0 is not writable.
System call hooks will not be installed; proceeding anyway
===
According to older mailing list entries this is due to the Redhat kernels being 
built
with the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=1.

Question: is there any way to avoid having to build a new kernel if one wants 
to run
OpenAfs on a RHEL5 or CENTOS5 box? Anyone found e.g. some kernel command line 
parameter
to disable the write protection of the system call table?

Or am I just overlooking something basic ?

Thanks for any hints,

        Uli
