Hi, sorry I took so long. I think the problem is that the OpenAFS
module doesn't work except on 686-class machines. Linux doesn't
really believe in binary compatibility of modules (changing kernel
patch versions, sub-architectures, or even kernel configuration
options can cause module-visible function signatures to change), but
until now it hadn't been a problem.
We will probably do something about the problem, but I don't know
when.
