Title: Error: modprobe: can't load module bonding
Post by: VuduMagic on May 13, 2016, 01:56:19 PM

My Platform Info:

root@NTPTestDevice:~# uname -a
Linux NTPTestDevice 2.6.33.3-tinycore #2 SMP Wed Jun 29 21:10:56 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

Other things to note:

root@NTPTestDevice:~# ls /sys/class/net
dummy0  eth0    eth1    eth2    eth3    lo

root@NTPTestDevice:~# cat /sys/class/net/eth0/speed
1000
root@NTPTestDevice:~# cat /sys/class/net/eth1/speed
10
root@NTPTestDevice:~# cat /sys/class/net/eth2/speed
10
root@NTPTestDevice:~# cat /sys/class/net/eth3/speed
10

I am trying to setup eth0 and eth1 slaves to a bond0.

I found this link:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt)

I am trying to do this part that it says to do:

3.3 Configuring Bonding Manually with iproute2
-----------------------------------------------
   ...
   ...
   ...
modprobe bonding mode=balance-alb miimon=100
modprobe e100
ifconfig bond0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ip link set eth0 master bond0
ip link set eth1 master bond0

Note: I had to install iproute2.tcz package to get the ip command.

The problem is, when I run the first command, I get this error:

Quote

root@NTPTestDevice:~# modprobe bonding mode=1 miimon=100
modprobe: can't load module bonding (kernel/drivers/net/bonding/bonding.ko.gz): unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter

I found this file:

Quote

root@NTPTestDevice:~# ll /lib/modules/2.6.33.3-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/bonding/bonding.ko.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         38104 Feb 15 16:06 /lib/modules/2.6.33.3-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/bonding/bonding.ko.gz

How do I get past this? Or is there another way to bond these together?

The file /sys/class/net/bonding_masters does not exist, so I can't do the "3.4 Configuring Bonding Manually via Sysfs" section.

"modinfo bonding" shows it needs the ipv6 module, which is in the ipv6 extension, try installing that.

Why are you using an ancient version though? Not even the latest 3.x.
