Description Michal Jaegermann 2004-04-18 00:57:05 UTC 
Description of problem:

When booting with 'selinux=0' one sees this:

INIT: version 2.85 booting
cat: /proc/self/attr/current: Invalid argument

The culprit is that line:

if [ -n "$selinuxfs" -a  "`cat /proc/self/attr/current`" != "kernel"
]; then
.....

because 'test' is not short-circuiting '-a'.  Replacing the above
with

if [ -n "$selinuxfs" ] && \
   [ "`cat /proc/self/attr/current`" != "kernel" ]; then

will work as clearly intended.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.50-1

How reproducible:
Always

Looks similar to another FC Blocker bug:

121663 [NEW - normal - notting] strange boot message when
rc.sysinit starts to run.
