>Environment:

        FreeBSD 4.0-Current as of June 15, 1999
        Pentium233MMX, 128MB SDRAM, two UDMA2 HD's, one IDE HD.
        PA-2007 motherboard, Matrox MillenniumII vid.  3COM905-TX NIC.
        Kernel compiled with IPFILTER, IPFILTER_LOG, and bpfilter.
       
>Description:

        I made buildworld and installworld.  Compiled a new kernel after checking
        with LINT for changes, then MAKEDEV all in /dev.
        After a the reboot, dmesg shows:
       
           Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc030e000.
           Intel Pentium detected, installing workaround for F00F bug
           ipl: ERROR: driver has bogus cdevsw->d_maj = -1
       
        For every rule ipf tries to process, the following error was produced:
       
           open device: Device not configured
           ioctl(SIOCIPFFL): Bad file descriptor
       
        Same errors occurs when I tried to manually unload and reload the IPFilter
        rules.
       
        This actually occurred a few weeks ago, I've been following -current a long
        time.  First report was to IPFilter's author without reply, then to FreeBSD-
        current mailing list with no comment on the issue.
       
        One day it worked, the next day it didn't.  I can still load the kernel.saved
        of the last compiled kernel when ipl worked.

       
>How-To-Repeat:

        Run 4.0-current with IPFILTER option in the kernel config.
       
>Fix:
       
        Unknown.
