Hi,
This problem has been fixed in the yum in S.L. 303.
Currently there are two ways to fix it, either with do, but one is a
more permanent fix.

1 - (will always work, but will have to do it each time you update your
kernel)

   rpm -q kernel kernel-smp
   yum list "kernel-module-openafs*"

then do a
   yum install kernel-module-openafs-<kernel version>
for each kernel you have.

2 - (will get the right kernel modules each time you update your kernel)

   rpm -Uvh
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/303/i386/SL/RPMS/yum-2.0.7-7.SL.noarch.rpm
   yum update
