Hello!

I have installed Proxmox VE 3.3 on a server with 3 NICS.
The configuration and system setup is completed.

However, in the boot log I can find the following error messages:
Code: 
Tue Oct 14 00:21:49 2014: Setting kernel variables ...done.
Tue Oct 14 00:21:49 2014: Configuring network interfaces...
Tue Oct 14 00:21:49 2014: Waiting for vmbr0 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 2 seconds).
Tue Oct 14 00:21:52 2014:

Tue Oct 14 00:21:54 2014: RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Tue Oct 14 00:21:54 2014: Failed to bring up vmbr1.
Tue Oct 14 00:21:54 2014: 
Tue Oct 14 00:21:54 2014: Waiting for vmbr2 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 2 seconds).
Tue Oct 14 00:21:56 2014: RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Tue Oct 14 00:21:56 2014: Failed to bring up vmbr2.[/COLOR]
Tue Oct 14 00:21:56 2014: done.
Tue Oct 14 00:21:56 2014: Starting rpcbind daemon....
Tue Oct 14 00:21:56 2014: Starting NFS common utilities: statd idmapd.

What is confusing is that all NICs are working after boot sequence is completed.

Question:
What's the root cause of this error?

THX
 
Sure...
