Hello Jorge,

citing my letter to this list from 27 May 2004
(right now it seems to be some problem with the mail archive...)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.6 can do either Coda 6 or 5 kernel interfaces without any add-ons.
The corresponding interface versions are 3 and 2.
(For you there is no reason to use the old interface, which otherwise can be
chosen by a kernel config option.)
 
2.4 has Coda 5 kernel interface ("version 2") out of the box but
that is too old for current user space tools.
 
If you apply http://coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/linux/kernel/linux-2.4-coda.patch
say to 2.4.26, that provides Coda 6 kernel interface ("version 3").
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

With other words, either use a 2.6 kernel, or compile either the 2.4 kernel
as a whole or just a module as in
http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/maillists/codalist/codalist-2004/5967.html
