I'm not sure whether UDEV_RAMFS="no" would allow it to work on SE Linux with UDEV_INITRD="yes" but don't have any plans to test this at the moment. We either need to get ramfs working in the Fedora kernels or make some changes to the udev plans. One option would be to use an ext2 file system on a ram disk for udev. It would do all the same stuff as ramfs (at a slightly higher memory cost) and work perfectly with SE Linux. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
