Problems with Arla 0.36.1 on Linux 2.4.26

[Asheesh Laroia]

I'm trying to start using Arla on a Debian Sarge/Sid (Unstable) GNU/Linux 
laptop.  I had been using OpenAFS, but I read a message on OpenAFS-devel 
that your cache performance is better, so I wanted to give Arla a whirl.

I compiled the kernel module by doing this:

# make clean
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/arla 
--with-arlacachedir=/var/cache/arla --with-arlaconffile=/etc/arla.conf 
--mandir=/usr/share/man --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --infodir=/usr/share/info 
--with-sys="/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.26-1-686/"
# make -C nnpfs/linux nnpfs.o

I then copied the kernel module into my kernel modules directory, did 
depmod -a, and then modprobe nnpfs.  So far, so good.

My MAKEDEV doesn't have nnpfs, so I did MAKEDEV xfs, and then moved xfs0 
to nnpfs0.  I mounted a 2 GiB loopback filesystem in /var/cache/arla.

I then did apt-get install arla.  It seemed to configure and install fine, 
but this happens, both as a user and as root:

paulproteus at napoleon:~$ ls /afs
ls: /afs: No such device

napoleon:/home/paulproteus# ls /afs
ls: /afs: No such device

My nnpfs0 device seems fine:

napoleon:/dev# ls -l nnpfs0
crw-------    1 root     root     103,   0 Jun 25 12:59 nnpfs0

And the kernel module seems to be installed fine, with no messages to 
dmesg:

napoleon:/dev# lsmod | grep nnp
nnpfs                 207440   1

Please help!  Thanks,

Asheesh Laroia.
