Hello, I have been using vserver for a few days to set up a test lab.
The servers themselves are running fine, however I am getting some very
erratic behavior out of the ethernet. When I reboot and bond all the
servers to myri0 it will only bond 5 (sometimes), the other 5 I can
enter by hand (sometimes) other times I get the errors:

ifconfig myri0:10 192.168.1.210 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

i will get the same errors with eth0 and eth1 also. Am i reaching a
limitation in the TCP/IP stack? It doesn't seem like it since I can
still add them by hand when the machine feels like letting me. Is there
a kernel config option I am missing? (all packages/kernel built
manually) I have attached a copy of my 01.conf (it's the same for all
except the IP and hostname change) and my .config. If you need anything
else please let me know.

Thanks for the help,
