I am
having a problem booting my Rawhide system after the latest round of updates.
The system will not boot beyond "Configuring kernel parameters: ". I
booted with a LiveCD to check the log files to see if there was any info there,
but the problem is occuring prior to the syslog facility coming up. SELinux is
operational using the strict policy. I changed /boot/grub/grub.conf to set
selinux to permissive mode to see what errors popped up. 4 messages come
up:
avc: denied { use } for pid=7333 exe=/sbin/minilogd
path=/init dev=rootfs ino=19 scontext=system_u:system_r:syslogd_t
tcontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t tclass=fd
avc: denied { read } for pid=7333
exe=/sbin/minilogd path=/init dev=rootfs ino=19
scontext=system_u:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=system_u:system_r:root_t
tclass=fd
avc: denied { read } for pid=7337 exe=/bin/dmesg name=ld.so.cache dev=hda3
ino=2431750 scontext=system_u:system_r:dmesg_t tcontext=root:object_r:etc_t
tclass=file
avc: denied { getattr } for pid=7337 exe=/bin/dmesg
name=ld.so.cache dev=hda3 ino=2431750 scontext=system_u:system_r:dmesg_t
tcontext=root:object_r:etc_t tclass=file
The system is an HP Pavillion zt3200. Unfortunately, I am unable to reboot
the system since I got rid of the last working kernel (548)--I had forgotten
that 610 didn't work either. I haven't found anything on this list, so I'm
figuring it was a bad mkinitrd run or something like that. Any ideas would
be greatly appreciated (especially those that involve saving the system without
rebuilding ;)

I just found out I still have the rpm for 2.6.8-1.521 available on the
system if it is possible to install it to my system via the Gentoo LiveCD that I
have. I also can get any other LiveCD dist if it's publically
downloadable. Any chances for a Fedora-based
one?
