RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Boot output showing failure.
Description of problem:
I'd provisioned a number of systems within the last few months, all of which were running selinux-policy-3.13.1-192.el7_5.3 and selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-192.el7_5.3
I upgraded one of them to 3.13.1.192.el7_5.6 during a config management run. When the system rebooted, the 'boot bar' continues to run, and the system never boots. Turning quiet boot mode off shows 'SELinux Policy Failed to Load. Freezing'.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.13.1.192.el7_5.6
I'm not sure if its selinux-policy or selinux-policy-targeted causing the problem, but both versions are the same.
How reproducible:
I've managed to reproduce this repeatedly; 10/10 times.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fresh copy of 7.5.1804
- selinux-policy* should be 3.13.1.192.el7_5.3
2. Yum upgrade (Ensure that selinux-policy* gets upgraded to 3.13.1.192.el7_5.6)
3a. install any policy. This may be related to installing a policy after the upgrade as well, but I'm not sure. The policy in question was working on the 5.3 installation though.
3b. Reboot system
Actual results:
System never boots, is stuck showing bootbar. Message appears before boot bar "Failed to load SELinux Policy, Freezing". System never boots.
Expected results:
Proper system boot.

This issue was not selected to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small number of use-cases. The next release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.
We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise, we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.
