I need to run openswan 2.4.x on this machine and therefore I need to run a recent kernel.2.6.9-22.EL crashed with openswan (klips).
2.6 kernels have native IPSec implementation built-in. You don't need openswan for IPSec. See setkey and racoon manual pages. There's good HOWTO on www.lartc.org. Unless, of course, you can't use native 2.6 kernel IPSec for whatever reason.
