Package: keepalived
Version: 1:1.1.20-1+squeeze1
keepalived is unable to load the 'ip_vs' kernel module which prevents the
service from starting. Note you can manually workaround this my loading
'ip_vs' prior to starting keepalived.
It appears the ipvswrapper.c contains the '-k' option which is not
supported on the modprobe version of squeeze.
keepalived-1.1.20/keepalived/check/ipvswrapper.c: char *argv[] = {
"/sbin/modprobe", "-s", "-k", "--", "ip_vs", NULL };
Below is some log output during the start process of keepalived:
./keepalived -dnl
/sbin/modprobe: invalid option -- 'k'
