Steps are the same for SL4 and SL5

Step 1 - Download the openafs source package for that release
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/SRPMS/SL/openafs.SLx-1.4.7-68.2.src.rpm
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/SRPMS/openafs.SLx-1.4.7-68.2.src.rpm

Step 2 - Make sure you have the kernel and the kernel-devel for whatever 
kernel you are making.  Remember that if you are building for something 
like kernel-smp you have to have kernel-smp-devel installed.

Step 3 - Actually do the rebuild.
For this, the variable KERNEL is of the format that you would see when 
doing a "ls /lib/modules/".  So KERNEL might be 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5xen or 
2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
Also for this, the variable $arch is either i686 or x86_64
These do *not* build for all of the available kernels of any version, so 
you would have to rerun this for both 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 and 
2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen - That is a feature, and not a bug. :)

For kernel modules only
rpmbuild --rebuild --target $arch --define "build_userspace 0" --define 
"build_modules 1" --define "kernel $KERNEL" openafs.SLx-1.4.7-68.2.src.rpm

For the whole openafs, without the kernel modules
rpmbuild --rebuild --target $arch --define "build_userspace 1" --define 
"build_modules 0" --define "kernel $KERNEL" openafs.SLx-1.4.7-68.2.src.rpm
