Bug 710711

/dev is not noexec for me, FWIW.

udev /dev devtmpfs rw,seclabel,nosuid,relatime,size=3989520k,nr_inodes=997380,mode=755 0 0

(Note that my test was on F-15, not rawhide.)

Yeah, I didn't have this problem on F-15. Here's my  /etc/mtab on Fedora "rawhide".

systemd does not use noexec on /dev.

This sounds more like an SELinux issue to me. Reassigning.

If this is a selinux issue then: setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed on
should allow it

But before you do this, are you sure you need vbetool, most people do not need it and setting mmap_low_allowed is not something we recomment,

yum remove vbetool

If you do not need it.

@Dominick Griff: I don't have selinux enabled.

@Daniel Walsh: I need vbetool. My graphics card shows a multicolored stripped screen everytime on boot. The only way to get rid of it is to refresh the card using vbetool.

Well then not my problem. since SELinux is not enabled.

What service on Fedora is responsible for mounting the file system??

The initramfs (generated by dracut).

'noexec' on /dev was added by:

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
