From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: Hi, Yesterday, I did a shutdown of my machine after to have played with security policies - mostly - firewall rules -. The shutdown seems to be succesfull however I am not so sure anymore now. But at that time, I did not care. Then I restarted my computer and during the boot process of my Fedora Core 5, I had aproximatly the following message after the filesystem check step. > Filesystem [ FAILED ] > >*** Warning -- SELINUX is active" >*** Disabling security enforcement for system recovery" >*** Run 'setenforce 1' to reenable. > Give root password for maintenance > (or type Control-D to continue) So I entered the root password and I did some fsck thinking one of my ext3 formatted logical volume were corrupted then I had something like this : > fsck ?.?? - the question mark is there cause I did not remember the numbers - > fsck.ext3: No such file or directory trying to open /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00 > > -Message that I did not remember- superblock not correct do an e2fsck -b 8128 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a Fresh Fedora Core 5 on a machine 2. Enforce the SELINUX 3. Apply some update 4. Disable the SELINUX 5. Apply some update 6. Wait a long while. 7. Apply some update 8. Re Enforce the SELINUX. 9. Shutdown the machine. 10. Restart it and you probably should have this message. Actual Results: I was on something between the normal mode and the single mode. So I was redirected on the command line : > [ Filesystem rescue 1] if I did an exit tha machine rebooted. Expected Results: The OS should have started correctly. As usual. Additional info:
After re-enabling selinux in enforce mode you will probably must relabel filesystem (depends on how selinux was disabled).
