Problem may be an SELinux problem.  Here is the alert. Notice the
reference to '/dev/hda' (which is the virtual machine boot disk), and
the SELinux context 'virt_content_t'

I'm going to create /.autorelable and reboot to ensure the upgrade
properly relabled the filesystems.


Summary:

SELinux is preventing pam_console_app (pam_console_t) "getattr"
to /dev/hda
(virt_content_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by pam_console_app. It is not expected
that this
access is required by pam_console_app and this access may signal an
intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration
of the
application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to
restore
the default system file context for /dev/hda,

restorecon -v '/dev/hda'

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this
access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access -
see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can
disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not
recommended.
Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
