Do you have more information on the crash? Any messages? There are a lot of messages coming across the screen when you watch the boot process but when it gets to init 5 the screen goes white as before and i have to ctl-alt-delete. When i have had screen problems like this in the past it was XFree86. I should be able to boot to init 3. What do you want me to do at that level. OK--here is the scoop. I boot up to the login and after entering userid and password a popup error screen comes up and says: "Unable to set executable context". Then the screen goes white and thats it. There was a bad policy file in yesterday's build. You need to boot non-enforcing mode (add enforcing=0 to the kernel boot line in grub.conf) and get a new policy file (1.8-3 or greater). No go! booted into failsafe and used yum to update the policy file to 1.8.5. rebooted and get the same error. Now what?? ok--i removed the policy file and then watching the bootup process all of those errors saying something about problems with the "avc" file went away but when i went to login the screen just froze. I assume you need the policy file to enter init 5. the policy file was version 1.8.5. Can i just get rid of all this policy stuff and boot normal or is it an essential part of the system? To turn off SELinux you can enter selinux=0 on the kernel line in grub. If you want to test selinux, put the policy file back on the machine and cd /etc/security/selinux/src/policy/ make load make relabel reboot You should be able to test the machine after that. Dan OK-- here is what happened when i tried to make load. [root@localhost policy]# make load make: *** No rule to make target `load'. Stop. Now--when logging out or shutting down the screen goes white--but it still shuts down. Something is effecting the screen upon logout and shutdown. Latest build in Rawhide and policy-1.9-1 should clean this up a lot. |
