"ipvs: Protocol not available" on Fedora 7

Sheridan · 01-12-2008, 09:25 AM

I'm trying to use ipvsadm. I've installed it from fedora repositories...

When I try to use ipvsadm command, I get this:

Code:

[root@estdtagwy01 ~]# ipvsadm -C
Can't initialize ipvs: Protocol not available
Are you sure that IP Virtual Server is built in the kernel or as module?

However... I checked and this is the only package I can install. There're no separate kmdl or other RPM packages for Fedora... Or are there??

So... can anyone please help me why I still get this error?

OK... I maybe onto something here...

I tried doing a fresh install of Fedora 7 on another machine.

I then did a clean "yum update" and then rebooted. After that I did a "yum install ipvsadm" successfully.

Then I tried ipvsadm -C, and it worked!

It must be something with that goddamn machines configuration... but what...
