Try setting a manual MAC address on the bond interface that is different then any of the physical ones. -Ross -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org <centos-bounces at centos.org> To: centos at centos.org <centos at centos.org> Sent: Mon Dec 17 07:44:21 2007 Subject: [CentOS] Bonding problem in CENTOS4 I use bonding under CENTOS4.5 x32_62. I have these weird messages when I'm restarting network. Do you have any ideas how to fix this? (there is similar bug for centos5 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2404, but the author says that it worked for him in centos4...)
