ISSUE
Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v2.6.3-rh (June 8, 2005)
bonding: Warning: either miimon or arp_interval and arp_ip_target module 
parameters must be specified, otherwise bonding will not detect link failures! 
see bonding.txt for details.
divert: allocating divert_blk for bond0
SOLUTION
Properly setup bonding alias in "/etc/modprobe.conf"

## setup bond0 alias and set it's option in 
##    /etc/modprobe.conf
##
## NOTE:
##    miimon=100 (100 msecs) [Media Independent Interface (MII) link 
monitoring]
##    mode=1     (bond mode) ["1" is "active-backup" mode]
##
##
vi /etc/modprobe.conf
--- add the following to the end of the file ---
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 miimon=100 mode=1


   [root@rac1 log]# grep bond0 /etc/modprobe.conf
   alias bond0 bonding
   options bond0 miimon=100 mode=1
   
   [root@rac2 ~]# grep bond0 /etc/modprobe.conf
   alias bond0 bonding
   options bond0 miimon=100 mode=1
   
   [root@rac3 ~]# grep bond0 /etc/modprobe.conf
   alias bond0 bonding
   options bond0 miimon=100 mode=1
   
   [root@rac4 ~]# grep bond0 /etc/modprobe.conf
   alias bond0 bonding
   options bond0 miimon=100 mode=1
