Assuming this is a standard Linux system - not an embedded system. Recommend using a current release rev 1.3.85 or later. I can e-mail the 3 referenced afs start scripts if needed. (from SuSE 9.3). Notes below:

I actually never looked at the current start scripts since I always have my own. The trivial solution to this is you do a "lsmod" to check if the kernel module is there. > What could be the reason for this?

So can someone give me some ideas what I did wrong (or > what I didn't do at all), or maybe how to get more detailed > information about the errors ocurring? Here's what I would do first to debug. You locate the kernel module which should be in src/libafs/ MODLOAD<xxx> (it should be called libafs<something>). Then after a reboot you load it by hand, calling "insmod <module file name>", now you start the afs daemon by starting src/afsd/afsd and maybe you want to use -debug -verbose parameters, so you'll be able to see what's happening during initialization of afs. >>tedc insmod /usr/vice/etc/libafs`uname-r`.ko #point to the .ko explicitly otherwise it looks in /lib/modules/ and it is neither there yet nor has depmod been run. That should give you a running client. Of course you need a working network, an afs cell and a proper configuration of your client (CellServDB, ThisCell, cacheconfig and some servers :-) ) Horst _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
