No problem, I was looking up on CCO, the Etherchannel configuration for ios 5.4 and it confirmed my thoughts and yours. I was able to the get line up as a channel once I turned off trunking, set the right vlan to the ports, assigned po channel 8/2-3 desirable and 1/1-2 auto, and turned trunking back on.

Here is the a good way to remember the modes. The most part, PaGP is either auto or desirable. Or you can just turn the pesky thing on or off. (non-PaGp). Of course it will only work if you are both on if you choose the non-PaGp mode. As for knowing the right compatibility, remember that desirable people are also aggressive. :) Two aggressive people can communicate. Auto is passive. Two passive people cannot communicate. One aggressive and one passive can communicate as well. Just think of an aggressive desirable as those players. (male or female). Those nice guys and girls who are passive just never get with anyone. :) Sorry, I just immediately jumped the gun and assumed you chose the two passive case without really reading carefully and remembering my own rules. :( Very bad form, I do not blame anyone for not believing me after such a blunder. You cannot do both as desirable. One must be desirable and the other auto. Or you can try forcing the modes to "on" and "on". That might fix it!
