Hello,
I've read in some posts to this list that there's a bug in kernel 2.4.19
stable regarding the use of bonding.
I've setup bonding myself yesterday with the patch from
sourceforge.net/projects/bonding and everything works as it should be
bond0 is bringing up both my nic's eth0 and eth1.
Is this because I use an external patch? Or can someone give me more
explanation about using bonding in kernel 2.4.19. Or should I wait till
2.4.20 is released (does someone know when this will be? +/-)
Regards,
Lao

The bonding problem in 2.4.19 is with the default boding code in there.
If you update to the latest bonding patch, then that should fix it.
FYI: This patch does the job for me:
http://www.scaramanga.co.uk/kernel/ECSC-2.4.19/02_bonding-fixes.diff.gz
its from 2.4.20-preX where it was fixed.
