Pulled this from your posted log file:
Dec  2 21:00:41 alabamaxo kernel: eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, 
lpa 0x41E1
Dec  2 21:00:41 alabamaxo kernel: Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: 
v3.3.0 (June 10, 2008)
Dec  2 21:00:41 alabamaxo kernel: bonding: MII link monitoring set to 100 ms
Dec  2 21:00:41 alabamaxo kernel: bonding: lanbond0 is being created...
Dec  2 21:00:41 alabamaxo kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): lanbond0: link is 
not ready
Dec  2 21:00:41 alabamaxo kernel: e1000: eth1: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link 
is Up 10 Mbps Half Duplex, Flow Control: None

Can you post the output of "ip addr" and ethtool please. What is eth1 
plugged into? hub? switch? AP? Half Duplex doesn't quite look right, 
unless it really is a 10mbps hub.

Think we need pass arp_interval= and arp_ip_target= in place of miimon= 
in xs_bonding, as there is no Port: MII on the gigbit card, sorry I 
missed that before. If your make the edit and /sbin/ifdown eth1, unload, 
reload the e1000 module, that should pickup the change when you 
/sbin/ifup eth1. Tail the log file to see if landbond0 becomes active.
