So the ilinux document references a directory of AFS
kernels called /mit/linux/afskern which no longer exists.
That directory stopped being relevant a long time ago. Any section of
the document that references it should probably just be removed.
These days:
(a) The latest AFS release is generally very likely to work with the
latest RedHat's kernel.
(b) If RedHat releases a kernel rpm that is incompatible with the
AFS rpm, Sipb will build a new version of either the kernel
or AFS, so people who install from sipb-nfs will not have problems.
It also says the latest kernel that AFS works with is
2.0.35.
The current AFS rpm supports both 2.0.35 and 2.0.36, built either from
the stock Linux kernel sources or from the RedHat kernel-source rpm.
