Description of problem: In the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Reference Guide, section 8.2.3 states that bonding is setup by adding the line: alias bond<N> bonding to /etc/modules.conf. This is incorrect, it should instead tell the user to modify the file /etc/modprobe.conf by adding the following line: install bond0 /sbin/modprobe bonding -o bond0 This also needs to be changed in Section A.3.2 http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/s1-modules-ethernet.html#S2-MODULES-BONDING Any reference to editting /etc/modules.conf needs to be changed to editting /etc/modprobe.conf with the line as shown above.
edited section "8.2.3. Channel Bonding Interfaces" and "A.3.2. The Channel Bonding Module", committed to CVS. reassigning to mhideo for update to be pushed to docs site. thanks!
changing to MODIFIED, to be CLOSEDCURRENTRELEASE when pushed to docs site
