What were you trying to do?
start afs
What's wrong:
I got an error of:
bash# /etc/rc.d/init.d/afs start
Failed to load AFS client, not starting AFS services.
Trying insmod by hand gave:
bash# insmod -f -m libafs-2.2.16.mp.o
Warning: kernel-module version mismatch
libafs-2.2.16.mp.o was compiled for kernel version 2.2.14
while this kernel is version 2.2.16-3smp
Note that the 2.2.16 kernel does require a symlink back to 2.2.14
which does exist. The module fails to load because the SMP
module requires insmod to be invoked as:
insmod -f -m -P smp libafs-2.2.16.mp.o
which causes the module to load properly.
It appears that not only does the rc script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/afs)
need to distinguish which module it is loading (*.mp* or not), it
also needs to load them differently.
