Based on the port types I assume you had the labels reversed.  On Cisco to Cisco links I always use "desirable" versus "on".  Although "on" should work. 

One the channel is up, all configuration is done on the channel and not on the individual ports.  Ecept for a few things like the description.  I always configure the port that belong to the channel as shut.  I then unshut them with on the port channel.
