On two FC2 Test 2 machines, /proc/acpi/event is unreadable, which means that acpid cannot start. root cannot 'cat /proc/acpi/event', which returns: /bin/cat: /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy and acpid also complains that it cannot open /proc/acpi/event. Therefore, acpid does not start. This happens regardless of whether SELinux is in enforcing mode or not.
anything in dmesg re acpi ? does it work with selinux=0 ?
What is the output of ps -ef | grep `fuser /proc/acpi/event | awk '{print $2}'`
selinux=0 kernel panics (attempt to kill init) I'm attempting to yum upgrade to find out. kernel version is: 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1
Does this work in current trees?
Its still broken. Doing a 'sudo cat /proc/acpi/event' still returns busy. The fuser/awk thing also doesn't work, as fuser /proc/acpi/event | awk ... returns nothing, hence grep has nothing to grep. Kernel 2.6.7-1.488smp
you need to talk to acpid. the event file can only be opened exclusively, and acpid stole it already.
