Title: update from 7.4 to 7.5.1, bond0 appears (the server just have 1 nic), no connect
Post by: iltasu on November 14, 2011, 08:01:43 PM
Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour:
I restored from a previuos server backup to new hardware, using a fresh 7.4 install.
The new hardware has just 1 NIC, after the restoration all was ok, sme server can ping network clients and internet sites.
Then I upgraded (yum update) to 7.5.1, and rebooted, after the reboot ping is not working.

Logged in as root, ifconfig gives me the eth0 card configured with the right ip, a bond0 card that I don't know what it is and the loopback.

Tried to use console to configure Server, in no screens I can find an option to disable bonding, tried to configure it as a server-gateway, but it tells me it cannot because I don't have 2 nics (and that's right, it's a server only, with just one nic).

Tried to issue an ifdown bond0; rmmod bonding and it's not working (found in http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5482#c13 ).

Tried to issue ifdown bond0; rmmod bonding selecting a different kernel (2.6.9-78.0.8.EL) instead of the newer used by 7.5.1 and here this orrible workaround works...

What can I do to elegantly put pieces together and don't have to deal with an unwanted bonding (I have just one interface) instead of adding the ifdown ad rmmod to /etc/rc.local?

Thanks

I think you should open a bug on http://bugs.contribs.org/ (http://bugs.contribs.org/).
