WHAT? This looks to me like a bonafide Release 9.0 show stopper.
Let me see if I understand our options:
1. Stick with Red Hat 6.2 with a known working AFS.
2. Get AFS happy with the 7.0 kernel version 2.2.19 (I had thought we
already had this work done.)
3. Convince IBM to produce AFS for Red Hat 7.2 with version 2.4 kernel.
4. Get Open AFS for the version 2.4 kernel working and tested.
We need some sense of how much work it is to go with each of these
options, and what the tradeoffs are.
