There are two things you probrubly still need to do.
First is to make sure you put whatever AFS cell you are in ThisCell.
I'm not sure what AFS cell in2p3 uses.  But if you were at Fermilab you
would do

   echo fnal.gov > /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell

Also, I've noticed in the test's to track down this problem, that yum
doesn't always get the right kernel-module-openafs when doing the first
install.  So do the following

   uname -r
   rpm -qa | grep kernel-module

and make sure that the kernel-module-openafs is the right one for the
kernel you have running.  If it isn't then you'll need to do a

   yum install kernel-module-openafs-`uname -r`

Not yet.
you can do a

   yum grouplist

And that will list them all and to find out what's in them do a

   yum grouplist "<groupname>"

all of these functionalities are in the 'man yum'.  That is one of the
good man pages, ranks right up there with 'man rpm'

Basically the list of groups currently in that list, is what you'd see
during an install.  The various groups that you can pick and choose.
