    I have bonding working on Mandrake 10.0 (Kernel 2.6.3-15, bonding V2.5.0). with eth1 and eth2 bonded to bond0 in active-backup mode.I upgraded to Mandrake LE2005 (kernel v2-6-11.6, bonding v2.6.1) with no other changes to config files and bond0 starts but eth1 and eth2 won't start.

    I can start eth1 and eth2 with ifup or ifenslave and bonding works but neither interfaces start on boot or by using 'service network restart'. Only ifcfg-bond0 and ifcfg-eth0 are processed.

    If I remove SLAVE=yes from ifcfg-eth1 or 2 the interfaces are then visible in ifconfig but are not part of the bond.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks

      I don't have mandrake here locally; does it use sysconfig or initscripts for network initialization, or something else?

      What does "rpm -q initscripts" and "rpm -q sysconfig" say?  (or is mandrake non-rpm?)

      I'm guessing the problem is either in the network init scripts, or possibly the distro switched from /etc/modules.conf to /etc/modprobe.conf during the upgrade and something wasn't copied.

      Mandrake uses initscripts. modules.conf is empty so I don't think it is used. I have the following lines in modprobe.conf
      alias bond0 bonding
      options bond0 miimon=100 mode=1

      lsmod shows bonding loaded and /proc/net/bond0 shows
      Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v2.6.1 (October 29, 2004)

      Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup)
      Primary Slave: None
      Currently Active Slave: None
      MII Status: down
      MII Polling Interval (ms): 100
      Up Delay (ms): 0
      Down Delay (ms): 0

      My config files are

      ifcfg-bond0

      DEVICE=bond0
      BOOTPROTO=none
      IPADDR=192.168.134.100
      NETMASK=255.255.255.0

      ONBOOT=yes
      METRIC=10
      MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes
      USERCTL=no

      ifcfg-eth1

      DEVICE=eth1
      BOOTPROTO=none
      ONBOOT=yes
      MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes
      USERCTL=no

      ifcfg-eth2

      ONBOOT=yes

      USERCTL=no
      MASTER=bond0
      SLAVE=yes

      Here is the result of starting network service followed by a manual start of eth1 and 2
