Hello Charlie,

You will need to also find and install the precompiled openafs kmod package
which matches the kernel release on that machine, or use dkms to build one.

For example,

    $ uname -r
    2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64
    $ sudo rpm -i openafs-client-1.6.20.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm \
             kmod-openafs-1.6.20.1-1.2.6.32_431.29.2.el6.x86_64.rpm

Here are some notes for dkms installs:
