I was able to get the code to compile on suse by removing some extra ifdefs from the lines 115 and 460 in the file: openafs-1.5.21/src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.16.27-0.9-default-SP/osi_vfsops.c I will step back now and look at the 1.4.x code for the linux servers though, so it won't mater. Another question, from what I have been able to gather, the "kernel" code refers to AFS kernel code not a custom linux kernel right?
