Description Forgotten User OS1JNCFbCX 2006-01-23 12:53:30 UTC 
The libafs kernel module is not packaged in Beta 1 and thus openafs-client cannot be started.
Comment 1 Vladimir Nadvornik 2006-01-24 11:14:21 UTC 
The kernel module did not built. It is fixed for beta2. 
The module is in the kernel-*-nongpl subpackage.
Comment 2 Marcel Steinke 2006-02-04 18:46:11 UTC 
kernel-nongpl is blocked in Beta3!
So km_afs/libafs could not be build.
Comment 3 Vladimir Nadvornik 2006-02-20 12:33:28 UTC 
This description was added to README.SUSE:

Many developers in the kernel community consider kernel-level modules
to be subject to the GPL terms. Novell respects this position and has a
policy of distributing only kernel modules that are compatible with the GPL.

Since the openafs kernel module is under the IBM Public license which is
considered to be incompatible to the GPL, the binary module is not distributed.

If you like to try compiling the kernel module on your own, get the openafs source
package and rebuild it. Follow the process described here:
