If they have "ONBOOT=YES" change that to "ONPARENT=YES". If they have neither, add ONPARENT=YES.
FYI: I've been creating NIC aliases with ONBOOT=yes for quite some time without a problem as I wasn't aware of the ONPARENT directive. I usually just copy the file and change it accordingly. The trap I usually run into is that I forget to change DEVICE.
