From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031008 Description of problem: On my system I have the primary interface defined as eth2. I then defined a bond using eth0 and eth1. When the network script runs it fails to bring up eth2 but does bring up the bond0. The reason for this is because in the network script we check to see if SLAVE=yes and if so we continue and don't execute the ifup <if>. The reason SLAVE is set to yes is from the ifcfg-eth[01] settings which were evaluated first. SLAVE is never cleared and thus we carry over the yes when it tries to work on ifcfg-eth2. My workaround was to simply add SLAVE=no into my ifcfg-eth2 file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an ifcfg-bond0 file to define a bond that uses eth0 and eth1 2. Create the appropriate ifcfg-eth0/0 files that set SLAVE=yes 3. Create an ifcfg-eth2 file to define an eth2 interface 4. Run /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart. Actual Results: The eth2 interface is not up. Expected Results: It should be. Additional info:
Please try with a later release, although this issue might still be there.
I noticed the same problem on Red Hat Enterprise AS 3 Update 1.
Fixed, will be in 7.45-1.
What update number would that be ?? what does 7.45-1. mean please ?? thanks
sorry we have similar problem on this kernel ?? thanks 2.4.21-9.ELsmp Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 1)
There is a fix for this in the current errata beta RPMS for RHEL 3.
How would I go about obtaining this beta RPMS of EL3 to try ?
It's in the 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 3 for x86) Beta' channel. (Replace, of course, with your variant (AS/ES/WS) and architecture).
My system has the channel registered but I get the following ? up2date-nox --upgrade-to-release rhel-i386-es-3-extras-beta Error communicating with server. The message was: Error Message: Your account does not have access to any channels matching (release='rhel-i386-es-3-extras-beta', arch='i686-redhat-linux') If you have a registration number, please register with it first at http://www.redhat.com/apps/activate/ and then try again. Error Class Code: 19 Error Class Info: Architecture and OS version combination is not supported. Explanation: An error has occurred while processing your request.

OK .. beta release installed kernel updated .. problem persists ??
Can someone tell me why this is closed ? the Beta Release of RH AS 3.0 did not fix the bonding driver problem ??
With both the initscripts and kernel updates?
