Did you build those rpms yourself or download them from some place like
openafs.org or atrpms.net?

There are two possible problems:

One problem is that you need
openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.el5xen.x86_64.rpm instead of
openafs-kernel-1.4.6-2.6.18_53.el5_1.x86_64.rpm
for your running kernel.

The second problem is something I occasionally run into with openafs
kmdl rpms. "yum install openafs-kernel" will sometimes default to the
standard (non PAE, non xen kernel). You can bypass this by specifying
the exact rpm version on the yum command line. I also sometimes have to
specify the openafs rpm version and the kernel version on the command
line when I'm upgrading the kernel & openafs.

If you have openafs specific questions, there is lots of help on the
openafs-info mailing list at
https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info (ignore the ssl
errors).
