Well, at least one problem is that you don't have a module that matches
your specific kernel. Your "ls" command listed three xen kernel
modules, one for 2.6.18_53.1.6, 2.6.18_53.1.13, and 2.6.18_53.1.14,
however, your guest has only the base 2.6.18_53 version so none of the
xen modules are an excact match. You might want to upgrade the guest
kernel to the latest revision before attempting to install the
openafs-kernel.

I think you typoed, these package names are quite long and it seems you
didn't include the _1 on the end of the package name. Why not just use
RPM to install the package you want directly:

rpm -Uvh openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.1.14.el5xen_1.x86_64.rpm

Of course, as stated above I suspect that this will still fail since you
don't actually have the 53.1.14 kernel revision installed.

Later,
Tom
