I had sent two previous messages on this issue and heard not a word. I'm really perplexed why it only seems to affect my system ... In any case the problem was, briefly, that when restarting Rawhide/FC6 on my Thinkpad A31p laptop, the startup process would get to the point that it would draw the fat X in the middle of the screen and then hang. Using the original kernel worked fine but newer kernels would result in the strange hang. Paying close attention after installing the most recent kernel, I noticed a text message just before X took over that smacked of SELinux (... avc ... denied ... comm="hwclck" ... --- all of this is from memory since I don't know how to freeze the screen during startup and I don't know where this message might be recorded. It is not in /var/log/messages). Taking a wild guess that it might be SELinux, I disabled it and sure enough the system booted properly. So I'll try again: any suggestions on what component I should file a bug against? Any suggestions on how I can capture what is really going that SELinux is taking issue with?
SELinux denials will be recorded in /var/log/audit/audit.log if auditd is running, and /var/log/messages otherwise. You'll need the AVC message to identify the component.
Rawhide/Test release issues should really be discussed on fedora-test-list or fedora-devel-list though. Or for SELinux issues, fedora-selinux-list is useful.
