Bonding:Error:Found a client with no channel in the client hash table

Problem: Bonding:Error: found a client with no channel in the client's hash table

System: Redhat Linux on IBM eServer xSeries 236

Question: What does it mean? How do I fix it? RHL comes up but at this message it goes in endless loop.

Suggestion replies much appreciated.

Thank you.

My first guess is that the bonded NICs are not all marked with "slave=yes" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.

If you post your network interface files from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*, the forum may be more helpful.

Hi All,

I'm getting the same error;whenever I reboot the M/C, all the NIC ports are up, but after few minutes it goes down automatically. Got the below error while digging the logs,

" bond0: Error: found a client with no channel in the client's hash table"
