That would be pretty dumb server error. The server has got nothing to do
with the coda.o kernel module. coda.o simply bounces filesystem requests
back to the Coda-_client_.

Either, there is already a module loaded, or something else is wrong,
check the output of dmesg and /var/log/messages to see what the kernel
is complaining about.

Not for starting a server. It is more likely that something went wrong
with vice-setup during the initialization of the RVM log and data
files(/partitions).

.... Is the server running? ....
.... If the kernel spits out the module loaded by insmod, how can the
Coda client, venus, make the kernel accept it? ....
