Description Rene Zbinden 2006-03-17 08:31:26 UTC
Description of problem:
I need two bonding devices bond0 and bond1. I followed the procedure described
in /usr/share/doc/iputils-20020927/README.bonding and made the following lines
in /etc/modprobe.conf

alias bond0 bonding
alias bond1 bonding

options bond0 miimon=100
options bond1 -o bonding1 arp_interval=200 arp_ip_target=10.0.0.1

When I start the network I get the following messages:
Bringing up loopback interface:  ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team
                                                           [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface bond0:  ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team
bonding: Warning: failed to get speed/duplex from eth2, speed forced to 100Mbps,
duplex forced to Full.
                                                           [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface bond1:  bonding device bond1 does not seem to be present,
delaying initialization.
                                                           [FAILED]

And when I have a look at /proc/net/bonding there is only bond0 visible.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
As described above

Steps to Reproduce:
1./etc/init.d/network stop
2.rmmod bonding
3./etc/init.d/network start
  
Actual results:

No bond1 device available

Expected results:
bond1 device should be available

Comment 1 Radek Vokál 2006-03-22 11:20:51 UTC
can I also have ifcfg-* files from 

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

Which version of iputils exactly are you using?
