This should give you what you need when doing 802.3ad LAGs:

interface FastEthernet0/21
 port group 1
 spanning-tree portfast
!
interface FastEthernet0/22
 port group 1
 spanning-tree portfast
!

It might have been the lack of STP portfasting that gave you
trouble initially as the Linux LACP might have timed out
waiting for STP discovery to finish.

Here is a good wiki article on link aggregation:

And here is a good site on Linux bonding interface:

You only need to setup port groups when doing 802.3ad, if
you use the other methods you may need to tune out the
2900XL for the constantly shifting MAC addresses.
