Bug 451037

Description of problem:
When installing a new virtual machine (Windows XP guest), I see the following
SElinux denial


Summary:

SELinux is preventing qemu-system-x86 (virtd_t) "getsched" to <Unknown>
(virtd_t).

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was
permitted due to permissive mode.]

SELinux denied access requested by qemu-system-x86. It is not expected that this
access is required by qemu-system-x86 and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
