Hi:

There seems to be a problem in module bonding.o (just the interesting
part follows, kernel version is 2.4.17):
user@machine:/tmp$ /sbin/modinfo bonding
license:     "GPL"
warning: parameter max_bonds has max < min!
parm:  max_bonds unknown format character '('parm:  miimon int, description "Link check interval in milliseconds"

At /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/bonding.c, line 229:
MODULE_PARM(max_bonds, "1-" __MODULE_STRING(INT_MAX) "i");
MODULE_PARM_DESC(max_bonds, "Max number of bonded devices");

And at /usr/src/linux/include/linux/kernel.h, line 19:
#define INT_MAX                ((int)(~0U>>1))

There are some places (/usr/src/linux/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_ftp.c
line 19) with similar macro invocations that work OK. It seems macro
MODULE_PARM gets confused with those parentheses in #define INT_MAX

This problem is still in 2.4.18-pre2, but seems that is solved upstream
(http://sf.net/projects/bonding/), see:
