I am running kernel version 2.2.16 on a Dual PIII800 with 3 Intel NIC's.
(Compaq Proliant DL380)
I discovered the bonding driver and set it up with all three cards which
appears to work fine. While I was playing round I did an ifconfig bond0
down which resulted in a kernel panic.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000040. I know this is not much help but it illistrates the problem.
The problem seems to be reproducable but unfortunatly the machine has
been put into service. I do however have another identical box on which
I might be able to do some further testing.
Looking at the bonding driver code, there is not much to go wrong so I
would assume it is a simple fix but I don't know. Could the fact that
it is an SMP box matter?
Any help or pointers would be great as I have put the box in to service
as a departmental mail server and I don't really want it crashing on me
:).
