A new thread, was "F14 login fails on backup copy; gdm error?" Symptoms still same: I have a working F14 [call it F14usb8] on sda8 on my external usb. I made a backup copy onto my 2nd scsi disk, seen as sdc7 [call it F14sdc7] This was preparation for using it for preupgrade to F16. Booting F14sdc7 at first looks normal. But I am unable to log in. new data, re selinux, from /mnt/sdc7/var/log/messages Dec 10 10:49:45 f14 kernel: [ 99.305929] Xorg:1655 freeing invalid memtype f88e8000-f88f8000 Dec 10 10:49:45 f14 kernel: [ 99.305954] Xorg:1655 freeing invalid memtype f88f8000-f8908000 Dec 10 10:49:47 f14 setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /bin/login from entrypoint access on the file /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-da emon.
