the guidlines of this link are not working, trying:

H1SiGlushkov# make-kpkg modules_image
.....
configure: error: no available sys_call_table access method
make[1]: *** [build-modules-stamp] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/openafs'
Module /usr/src/modules/openafs failed.

It is not working because the version of the openafs-modules-source is 
not supporting kernels later than 2.4.x.
I've tried google, but I couldn't find anything  suitable for me 
(compiling from source and installing an afs client)
