Yes.

I don't think that you are using the 2.4.23 LVS code.
I suspect that you are using the 2.4.23 kernel patched with lvs 1.0.10
for some reason. Thus the problem.

I have been able to reproduce your error by unpacking 2.4.23
and then running make installsource from the ipvs-1.0.10 tree.

Try using the 2.4.23 kernel tree completely unpatched.
It includes LVS. In fact the LVS in 2.4.23 is slightly newer than
1.0.10 and has been modified to compile with 2.4.23.

If you really, really want to use 2.4.23 + 1.0.10 for some reason
then you will need to start by merging the changes to
update_defense_level() in ip_vs_ctl.c.
