Many thanks - adding '--define "kvariants smp"' did the trick and is now
on my standard cheat sheet for rebuilding modules.
The RPMs on the download site worked for 2.6.9-67.0.7, but there aren't
any for 2.6.9-67.0.15 which Red Hat just released this week.
I've now found the notes in the 'openafs' RPM description which explain
the kvariants option, but I hadn't installed that yet because I was trying
to build first and then install all the parts of 1.4.7 at once.

Hi,
I tried upgrading an SMP RHEL4 client today with the 1.4.7 RPMs and built
the kernel module with rpmbuild the way I usually do. However,
although I specified --define "kernvers 2.6.9-67.0.15.ELsmp"
- which syntax always worked before, it built the non-SMP kernel module.
Is there a problem with the RPMs on the web site?
With 1.4.7, we have moved to building 'kmod' style kernel modules. These
build multiple different kernel variants (SMP, Xen, PAE, etc) from a single
SRPM, using the standard RedHat mechanism for packaging kernel modules. When
you're using this, you should give it the kernel version by defining
'kernvers', and the list of variants you want to build by defining
'kvariants'. When 'kvariants' is undefined, you will build a standard kernel
module.
You can get the old behaviour back by defining 'fedorakmod' to 0
Cheers,
Simon.
