Firstly I would stronly recommend that you start with
a kernel from kernel.org (such as 2.4.18) rather than
using Red Hat's Kernel unless you know what you
are doing. ipvs-1.0.4 does not work out of the box with
the Kernel shipped with Red Hat 7.2 and vice versa.
However if you want to do this here is a rough guide.
1. You need to apply the linux_kernel_ksyms.c.diff and
linux_net_netsyms.c.diff
2. You need to remove the existing version of LVS which is
present in the 7.2 kernel. You can do this by examining
the patches that are provided with the kernel src.rpm
and the spec.file.
3. Compile the kernel - a few minor things may fail.
Again this is the "way of pain".
4. Build the kernel modules privieded in the ipvs/ subdirectory
of ipvs-1.0.4.tar.gz. You will need to make modifications
to the source to get this to work, but they should be minor.
