My bonding setup had a tiny error in the ifcfg-eth3 file and yet it still started without complaining, strang as the error was that is had an ip address and a boot protocol set to static, I must have missed this. My bonding has 4 cards configured. What really was wierd was that the bond0 device came up fine and ifconfig did reflect the ip address of eth3 as per it config file, but its fixed Thanks again, by the way with this system in place I am clocking 11-13 minutes install time for fc1 and fc2 via network and all things preconfigured :-) > -- > Ray Curtis Unix Programmer/Consultant Curtis Consulting > mailto:ray@xxxxxxxx http://www.ccux.com -- ****************************************************************** Chadley Wilson Soon 2 B RHCE Linux Rocks Welcome to my world.
