Re: avc denied from kernel 427 update

[Tom London <selinux@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm.... worked for me.  I'm running 427 on two machines.  One with the 
'old policy' stuff, the other with all the latest packages from the 
development tree (including 'new selinux-policy' stuff).

A suggestion from Stephen Smalley may help you. I haven't tried to 
install a new kernel since doing this. Also, I noticed an updated rpm 
package in the development tree.....

This is because rpm hasn't been updated for the new policy layout, so it
cannot find the file_contexts configuration.  Until it is updated, I
have just created a symlink, i.e.
ln -sf /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts /etc/security/selinux/file_contexts
