There are indeed some other things screwed up. I cannot get AFS 1.0.3 to run reliably after completely recompiling it for the new beta. It works fairly well on the previous beta, but the AFS kernel module now seems to hang at random places when I start it up. I'm tracking this problem down, but so far, it seems to be in the memory allocator (or its mutex) - I can't tell which it is because the debugging method I've been using (printk) changes the behavior so I'm going to have to use other tools. This is what I've been testing which causes me to have to hard reset the system so frequently (and thus induces the ifup problem). Mike Durket
