Description of problem: I was getting the following errors. Jun 06 10:06:13 ganak. kdumpctl[981]: No memory reserved for crash kernel. Jun 06 10:06:13 ganak. kdumpctl[981]: Starting kdump: [FAILED] To solve it I executed system-config-kdump Which opened a gui where initially "Firmware assisted dump" was selected by default. It automatically selected "Manual Settings" & filled "New kdump Memory" to 128(MB) while "Current kdump Memory" remained 0 (MB) At this point the 3 selinux alerts happened. type=AVC msg=audit(1496811012.375:1681): avc: denied { read } for pid=10088 comm="grubby" name="sr0" dev="devtmpfs" ino=11675 scontext=system_u:system_r:kdumpgui_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0 tclass=blk_file permissive=0 type=AVC msg=audit(1496811013.149:1682): avc: denied { write } for pid=10088 comm="grubby" name="/" dev="tmpfs" ino=11695 scontext=system_u:system_r:kdumpgui_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 type=AVC msg=audit(1496811013.149:1683): avc: denied { write } for pid=10088 comm="grubby" name="log" dev="sda3" ino=617 scontext=system_u:system_r:kdumpgui_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 SELinux is preventing grubby from 'read' accesses on the blk_file sr0. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that grubby should be allowed read access on the sr0 blk_file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # ausearch -c 'grubby' --raw | audit2allow -M my-grubby # semodule -X 300 -i my-grubby.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:kdumpgui_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0 Target Objects sr0 [ blk_file ] Source grubby Source Path grubby Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-225.16.fc25.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.11.3-200.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 25 19:03:07 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2017-06-07 10:20:12 IST Last Seen 2017-06-07 10:20:17 IST Local ID 7befdb7d-890d-41b8-8655-ee61ae0b608b Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1496811017.505:1684): avc: denied { read } for pid=10087 comm="system-config-k" name="sr0" dev="devtmpfs" ino=11675 scontext=system_u:system_r:kdumpgui_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0 tclass=blk_file permissive=0 Hash: grubby,kdumpgui_t,removable_device_t,blk_file,read Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-225.16.fc25.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.8.0 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.11.3-200.fc25.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1026644
