Comment 7 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2019-04-15 03:40:09 UTC 
confirmed, I removed CONFIG_BPFILTER and it started working again
Comment 8 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2019-06-13 14:30:23 UTC 
Hello @Base-System

Please consider adding a check for CONFIG_BPFILTER for iptables as that config setting in the kernel will cause the errors described in this bug report.
