"Error detecting AFS" means that there isn't any afs-syscall, and if you
kernel module fails to insert that, I have no clue what's wrong.

Now for us to see what is wrong. You'll need to turn on debugging on xfs
and arla. This is all described on

<http://www.stacken.kth.se/projekt/arla/html/arla_5.html>

Esp. the part:

  "If it crashes before you have an opportunity to set the debug level, you
   will have to edit `xfs/your-os/xfs_deb.c' and recompile".

Without this information, we can't help you.
