Redhat 5.3 Network/Bonding Issues

[Romell_1]

We have had the 4.3 Redhat install automated for a while and it has worked like a champ but here is what we are seeing with a 5.3 Redhat 64bit upgrade.

We install the drivers from the HP SmartStart disk..reboot
On reboot we create the bonds that in the past are look like:

Redhat Virtual Connect Port
eth0(bond0) = 1 Embedded NIC
eth1(bond0) = 2 Embedded NIC
eth2(bond1) = 3 Mezzanine
eth3(bond1) = 4 Mezzanine
eth4(bond2) = 5 Mezzanine
eth5(bond2) = 6 Mezzanine

Now what is happening:
Redhat Virtual Connect Port
eth0(bond0) = 1 Embedded NIC
eth1(bond0) = 4 Embedded NIC
eth2(bond1) = 2 Mezzanine
eth3(bond1) = 3 Mezzanine
eth4(bond2) = 5 Mezzanine
eth5(bond2) = 6 Mezzanine

This is just an example, it is actually different every time we install. I assume this happens somewhere at the kernal level but I need to figure out how to get consistent results. I know how to fix it but when onsite admins install they aren't C7000 experts so it is messing them up.

Thanks for any help!
