Much better, thanks. >> Just configure the network as usual. The error can come from another >> different source.

I would first try to setup the ethernet cards separately and once you have checked they're working okay with no errors, proceed with bonding. >> When compiling my own kernels, I use "make localmodconfig" to avoid >> forgetting modules which are being used/loaded. >> >> > Ok, Thanks for this tip.

I neither have it enabled: sm01@stt008:~$ grep -i CONFIG_HZ_1000 /boot/config-* # CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set OTOH, I've always thought that lower values for timer frequencies are better for servers...

Note, I have ONLY changed the > Timer Frequency and nothing else Nope, sorry, I can't decipher what can be wrong. But sometimes you need to use the menuconfig instead manually making the changes because some kernel menus/options require another modules to be enabled.
