I've been running IPFIlter on FreeBSD4.0-Current on my Pentium 233MMX box for a while now. And up until the middle of last week I haven't had any problems with it. I cvsup to the latest src tree everynight and make buildworld (done at 4am with a crontab entry), and every morning I would installworld, build new kernel, MAKEDEV all, and fastboot. Except last week on boot with the new kernel, I got: CPU: Pentium/P55C (239.83-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x543 Stepping=3 Features=0x8001bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,MMX> real memory = 134217728 (131072K bytes) avail memory = 127258624 (124276K bytes) Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc030e000. Intel Pentium detected, installing workaround for F00F bug ipl: ERROR: driver has bogus cdevsw->d_maj = -1 It then continues booting till it got time to load the ipfilter rules. At which point I got: open device: Device not configured ioctl(SIOCADDFR): Bad file descriptor for every rule it tried to load. The system boots fine after that, and I get the same errors when I (as superuser) tried loading it by hand. Booting the system with kernel.old works fine, ipl loads, and so do the rules. I haven't heard anyone say anything regarding this in the mailing list recently, and a search through the online database comes up with nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dave davec@unforgettable.com PS. While I'm here, anyone successfully loaded DOS 6.22 on bochs pass himem.sys? bochs would try to load himem.sys, but after a few minutes it'd close and put me back to the BSD prompt. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
