[SOLVED]Fresh install netctl bonding lacp

Fresh install using last months ISO (haven't done one since 2010) and having issues with netctl and bonding. I have a profile that looks like:

Description='Bond Interface'
Interface='bond0'
Connection=bond
BindsToInterfaces=(eth0 eth1)
IP=static
Address="xxxxxxxx/24"
Gateway="xxxxxxxx"

But after netctl start bond0, noting. lsmod shows bonding loaded with no hits, ip addr shows the bond0 if there in a down state, and a cat of /proc/net/bonding/bond0 doesn't show any eth0/eth1 enslaved to the bond0 interface. I have also done the "ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules" so eth0 and 1 are there.
Thanks in advance for the help.
