This is probably due to a bug in the Makefile and rpm.in files. Sam
pointed this out to me and posted a link to a message that contains a
patch in the bug list archive. I haven't been successfull in implementing
the patch yet.

What I think you are seeing above is the fact that what you installed are
actually modules (ie, ipsec.o) rather than compiling it into the kernel
directly. When ipsec's init script starts, the kernel module loader can't
find ipsec.o in it's path. You'll find ipsec in /lib/modules/ipsec rather
than the /lib/modules/2.4.7-10 directory. Try adding the path to the
/lib/modules/ipsec to your modules.conf and run depmod.
