I have rebuilt my system and still have the same problem I had before. Below are the files that I have on this issue.
1. Error I receive when I restart the network

2. Here is my modprobe.conf file
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 3c59x
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
alias snd-card-0 snd-sbawe
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-sbawe index=0
remove snd-sbawe { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-sbawe
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias bond0 bonding
3. Here is my bond0 file
DEVICE=bond0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
HWADDR=00:50:04:AB
6:7A
IPADDR=192.168.0.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
4. Here is my eth0 file
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
#BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
#HWADDR=00:50:04:AB
6:7A
#IPADDR=192.168.0.2
#NETMASK=255.255.255.0
#NETWORK=192.168.0.0
#ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
5. Here is my eth1 file
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
#BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
#HWADDR=00:01:02:41:68:70
#IPADDR=192.168.0.2
#NETMASK=255.255.255.0
#NETWORK=192.168.0.0
#ONBOOT=no
TYPE=Ethernet
If I use the commands ifup eth0 and ifup eth1 then the system returns the statement that eth0 and eth1 are bonded to bond0. I suspect that I have missed changing an entry in some system file but at the moment I do not have a clue as to which one. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
