# is selinux disabled?
+ # With selinux in enforcing mode the rpcbind package required for
+ # dracut nfs module, which is in turn required by anaconda module,
+ # will not get installed, because it's preinstall scriptlet fails,
+ # resulting in an incomplete initial ramdisk image.
+ # The reason is that the scriptlet runs tools from the shadow-utils
+ # package in chroot, particularly groupadd and useradd to add the
+ # required rpc group and rpc user. This operation fails, because
+ # the selinux context on files in the chroot, that the shadow-utils
+ # tools need to access (/etc/group, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow etc.),
+ # is wrong and selinux therefore disallows access to these files.
