Ron,
If you use the Official RPMS then (a) you'll already have RPMs for 2054,
and (b), all you need to do to rebuild for a new kernel is:
rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686 openafs...src.rpm
I'll let Axel try to explain to you why his method has to be so much
more complicated than that. ;)

Hi Axel,
I am using the 2054 kernel. Is there a kernel module for that one ?
No, only the last 1-2 kmdls are kept around (that's not a technical
issue, but a space capacity one).
or do I need to compile it myself ? and what source rpm do I need
for that ?
There is exactly one src.rpm that generates all these packages. :)
Rebuilding from src.rpm is a bit involved. You will need a kernel
build environment with matching kernel sources (e.g. kernel-devel for
your sources may be enough, I'm using the full blown out source tree
to be sure). You'll also need to deposit the kmdl macros under
/etc/rpm/macros which you can find under atrpms-devel or simple
googling, e.g. http://www.google.com/search?q=kmdl_namepureof
But rebuilding kernel module packages is not for the faint of heart,
it would be far less pain for yourself to update 2054 to a more recent
release. Also consider the security implications of running network
services like openafs on kernels with known security issues.
I am trying to install the client on FC5 smp x86_64
thanks,
Ron
