I tried the new kernel, using the commandline that Pete posted. The problem was not fixed by that kernel. In fact, it was arguably made worse, as on that kernel, even a manual restart of networking does not get the network to work. I am attaching a dmesg log of the new kernel's boot.
When I manually restart networking, this is what I get: * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Failed to enslave eth0 to bond0. Is bond0 ready and a bonding interface ? Failed to enslave eth1 to bond0. Is bond0 ready and a bonding interface ? /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave: 129: cannot create /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode: Directory nonexistent /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave: 129: cannot create /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon: Directory nonexistent ssh stop/waiting ssh start/running, process 1951 ...done. Finally, adding the options to /etc/modprobe.d did not improve the situation, regardless of whether "bonding" was added to /etc/modules or not. ** Attachment added: "dmesg output of boot using patched kernel" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/688703/+attachment/1774931/+files/dmesg-patched-kernel.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/688703 Title: [lucid] netxen_nic driver and ethernet bonding broken at boot time -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
