Full description During testing of bonding of 2 interfaces, i have seen this from time to time in my log file ( the problem doesn't arrive each time but one in 3 or 4 try ). SYSTEM : 2 NIC card bond on interface bond0 : intel PRO/1000 (e1000 ) Broadcomm ( tg3 ) I have also try a 2.6.20 and 2.6.19 vanilla kernel ( identical problem but in onecase the system doesn't survive : that the reason the problem catch my attention ) Keywords ; network, bonding Version : Linux version 2.6.21-rc6-mm1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1-r3)) #3 SMP Thu Apr 26 08:45:06 CEST 2007 Output of /var/log/messages Apr 26 11:09:34 jupiter2 e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Down Apr 26 11:09:34 jupiter2 bonding: bond0: link status definitely down for interface eth0, disabling it Apr 26 11:09:34 jupiter2 bonding: bond0: making interface eth1 the new active one.
