Simon, I've been too busy to get back to this until now. I would like to try this method but I don't know where to find the src rpm list below. I assume building the kernel module this way implies we don't need to match all the kernel minor versions as rpmbuild will just 'do the right thing' and give me a kmod-openafs-1.4.10-1.1.2.6.18_x.y.z.el5.x86_64.rpm<http://openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.4.10/rhel5/x86_64/kmod-openafs-1.4.10-1.1.2.6.18_53.1.4.el5.x86_64.rpm>back which can then be installed. Looking at http://openafs.org/release/1.4.10/ I don't see were the source rpm is located..
