I assume that I can use the SRPMS versions of the following files (which
I've built and installed its corresponding RPM), instead of rebuilding the
source code.

Ok, here goes the output:
:Linux source directory [/usr/src/linux]:
:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
:
:The kernel source tree is version 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl. Alternate target
:install directory []:
:  Module install directory [/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl]:
:Kernel configuration options:
:    Symmetric multiprocessing support is disabled. Module version
:    checking is enabled.
:    Proc fs support is enabled.
:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/modversions.h does not exist!
:    To fix, run 'make dep' in /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.

I've linked the file
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/include/linux/modversions.h
 to
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/modversions.h
and it stops complaining

# dmesg | grep "^Coda"
Coda Kernel/Venus communications, v5.3.18, coda_at_cs.cmu.edu Coda: Bye bye.
Coda Kernel/Venus communications, v5.3.18, coda_at_cs.cmu.edu
#

It should appear v6.0.x right? At least it should output the interface 
version we are now using. Default would be CODAv2, right? What I did was
compiling a CODAv3 module, right? dmesg should differentiate.

I think it's all set, since venus-setup doesn't complain anymore. ]#
venus-setup testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu 20000 /etc/services already has new
services registered! Good. /etc/services ready for Coda
