Trying to setup a port channel to connect a new switch with ports that were previously configured.. error

i have s60 switches stacked. 
FTOS version 8.3.3.7

I'm trying to add a 2 interface port channel, nothing fancy, but i keep getting errors due to the switch already being configured as a switch port on a non-default vlan. 

when i issue command "no switchport" on either of the 2 interfaces i get this error

"error: Gi 2/36 port is part of a non-default VLAN"

when i try to add the interfaces to the port-channel i get this error,

channel-member gigabitethernet 2/36

"error: port is in layer-2 mode Gi 2/36."

if i try and move the port from vlan 2 to the default vlan 1 i get an error from the untagged or the tagged command?

 Error: Port has Layer-2 config on it Gi 2/36.

i issued the no shutdown and then shutdown and then no shutdown again and then tried no switchport and it worked. but now when i try and issue port-channel-protocol lacp i get

force10(conf-if-range-gi-2/36-37)#no switchport

force10(conf-if-range-gi-2/36-37)#port-channel-protocol lacp

I would try removing the ports from the port channel, then issue the lacp command.

# interface Port-channel 102

# no channel-member GigabitEthernet 2/36-37

Then enter the interfaces and try to set them to lacp.

# interface range GigabitEthernet 2/36-37

# port-channel-protocol lacp

See if that produces a different result.
