Hi,
I'm trying to setup a new AFS server using openafs 1.3.80 on a dual Opteron 
node running Scientific Linux 3.03/3.04 (recompiled RedHat REL). The kernel 
version is
2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.XFSsmp 
(including a patch for the XFS file system). I'm already running another 
Server (in a different cell) which runs on a dual Xeon box with Redhat Linux, 
and which works just fine.  
What happens is the following:
1/ running the client only on the Opteron system, I can connect to my already 
existing cell without problems (setting CellServDB and ThisCell appropriatly)
2/ I can start all server processes on the Opteron for the new cell. 
Everything looks normal: bos tells that all processes are running (and they 
are). Authentication works fine, I created an admin account for which I can 
get a valid  token with which I can run bos in authenticated mode, just as it 
should be. 
3/ if I update /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB and ThisCell for my new Cell on the 
opteron system, and try to start the client, it tells me that all daemons 
have been started, and gets stuck immediately afterwards. The module gets 
loaded, but the forked afsd processes go into state Zombie and block, cannot 
be killed any more, and if I try to remove the module, the machine panics. 
The effect is the same if I run the client on a different machine than the 
server, so I assume the problem must be somewhere at the server site. 

I checked the lists but did not see a report of something like that recently. 
Did anybody succeed to run a (developement) server on x86_64 ? 
Any idea what is wrong ? 

Thank's a lot in advance,
Ulrich
