LinuxQuestions.org - Bridged interface won't start on boot

I am trying to setup a bridged interface (which I have done successfully in the past) on CentOS 5.2 x86_64

I have three configuration files:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0

Code:

DEVICE=br0

TYPE=bridge

BOOTPROTO=static

BROADCAST=172.16.0.255

IPADDR=172.16.0.242

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

ONBOOT=yes

USERCTL=no

IPV6INIT=no

PEERDNS=no

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Code:

DEVICE=eth0

BRIDGE=br0

ONBOOT=yes

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

Code:

DEVICE=eth1

BRIDGE=br0

ONBOOT=yes

Specs:

Code:

root@tst14 ~]# ethtool eth0

Settings for eth0:

        Speed: 100Mb/s

        Duplex: Full

        Link detected: yes

root@tst14 ~]# ethtool eth1

Settings for eth1:

        Speed: 100Mb/s

        Duplex: Full

        Link detected: yes

root@tst14 ~]# uname -a

Linux tst14 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.centos.plus #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 10:49:19 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have network in the correct runlevel

Code:

[root@tst14 ~]# chkconfig --list | grep network

network        0:off  1:off  2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

after reboot

Code:

[root@ tst14  ~]# service network status

Configured devices:

lo br0 eth0 eth1

Currently active devices:

lo eth0 eth1

after manual start

Code:

[root@ tst14  ~]# service network status

Configured devices:

lo br0 eth0 eth1

Currently active devices:

lo eth0 eth1 br0

It says the following after boot in /var/log/messages related to br0

Code:

kernel: br0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature.

I read something about setting UFO on br0.
I have no idea how to resolve this.

Any help is greatly appreciated
