Hi Randy, The error that you're getting on boot is, as you probably guessed, caused by the fact that IPVS has not been compiled into the kernel. You won't find any option in menuconfig or the like, as it is an external patch that you must apply to the kernel source before you compile it. MandrakeSoft patch their kernels with the IPVS code before release. This is why you didn't get the error with the default 8.1 kernel, which is I assume what you are running. Chances are, you probably don't need it anyway. So, to save you some headaches you could do remove ipvsadm - this will fix the error you get when booting the kernel: urpme ipvsadm-1.19-1mdk If you really do need it, and want to patch the source accordingly, I suggest you investigate further. The following URLs should be useful: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/mini-HOWTO/LVS-mini-HOWTO-4.html I hope this is of some help to you.
