Well, struggling this issue, adding one Network card in VMware (power off the guest OS, SLES 10 w/ SP3) made me to setup the bonding interface as bond0.
But I encountered with second problem. I almost spent this for 8 hours til now. .....

#service network restart & #rcnetwork restart & #/etc/init.d/network start
has gotten same result as;

bond0
Bonding /sbin/ifenslave not found
bond0 failed
Setting up service network failed

In yast2 Network Card Configuration Overview, Bond Network 192.168.29.20 has showned up.

In #ifconfig, there is no bond0 interface.
