Hi En Chiang,

Since it doesn't seem like we can easily fix this problem in the kernel, 
can you do the following to the FC branch before the 1.1.1 release?

1) Replace the ipvsadm 1.24-4.2 RPM with the older 1.21-9 RPM from the 
RH9 release.

2) Enhance the install and upgrade scripts to detect whether a newer 
version of ipvsadm than 1.21 is installed. If so, remove it and tell the 
user that it's being replaced with a 1.21 version. Be sure you do all of 
this before the base RPMs are installed.

Gopal and Aneesh might want to do something similar for Debian, although 
in that case it could be argued that it is a base bug and OpenSSI is not 
necessarily responsible for fixing it.

Regards,

Brian
