Question about a present but not found module

| I just created a deb package from openafs-module-source for my kernel and it
installed cleanly. openafs.ko is even listed
under /lib/modules/2.6.12.3-name/fs/.
However modprobe openafs fails :
# modprobe openafs
FATAL: Module openafs not found.
I am sure I am missing something basic. How do I get the kernel to stop
pretending that the module does not exist ?

| list the modules using lsmod to see if your module is installed!

If modprobe cannot find the module this probably is because the module
isn't listed in the modules.dep file. Check
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep to see if the module is there. If it
isn't, run depmod to rebuild the file.

Thanks. That worked.
Now, I get a cryptic message upon starting openafs-client :
nanak:/# /etc/init.d/openafs-client start
Starting AFS services: afsd: some file missing or bad in /etc/openafs
afsd.
