My memory is refreshing... somewhat. Okay, in the past the RPM kmod was not used. Instead, we compiled a kernel module. So, I have compiled a new kernel module for this CentOS, and installed. The openafs-client successfully started afsd and its associated daemons.
(I had found that the online kmod RPM has a dependency for kernel-x86_64, which we don't currently have. It was more expeditious to build a new kmod and install.) Thank you for your help today! I have documented this build and install for my group. If anyone is interested in it, just let me know. -- dave On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 12:30 PM, Simon Wilkinson <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 20 Jan 2009, at 20:15, dave first wrote: > >> I see now that there is no all ready compiled kmod available for >> kernel .22.
