Description of problem: Installed FC Test2 with ReiserFS and Selinux at default Active setting. Upon installation completion and reboot system generates continuous scrolling messages with avc errors. Messages scroll to rapidly to read exact text. These scrolling messages never stop and the system does not continue to boot beyond this point. Reinstallation using all of the same options but with ext3 file systems works as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from CD and at boot prompt enter linux reiserfs 2. Select reiserfs for disk partitions and Active for Selinux 3. Complete install and reboot Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
reiserfs does not support extended attributes, so SELinux will not work with it. I believe you need to use either ext3 or XFS.
It looks like kernel 2.6.7 has patches from SuSE to reiserfs3 that allow xattrs, including the ones necessary for SELinux.
