Description of problem: I attempted to install FC6 with the 5.92 test. The installation appeared to proceed without errors, but when I tried to reboot for the first time I received the the following : Unable to load SELinux Policy. Machine is in enforcing mode. Halting now This was followed by a kernel panic : kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Subsequent boots produced the same sequence as above.
Looks like selinux-policy-targeted was not installed? You can boot with the flag enforcing=0 in order to get the machine to boot up, then check if policy was installed. Did you do this from a kickstart install?
I did a network ftp install using the rescue FC6 test3 disk to start the process. I will set the flag "enforcing=0" when I get home this evening and give you another report.
I was able to boot to a terminal interface with the enforcing=0 switch, but there was no gui logon screen nor could I start gnome by using startx at a command line prompt. If you want me to pursue other things I will be happy to do so, I only planned to do this to help Fedora. IF you would like me to do a CD install instead of an ftp network install let me know.
This sounds like your installation is very broken. You are basically in selinux=0 mode and you still can't do much, so I think a lot of packages did not get installed. I am changing this to anaconda as I feel the problem lies there.
What did you select to install?
I installed the Desktop package with customizations that included several items. I do not have all of them in my memory, but here two definite selections were 1. kde 2. all servers I did not install any games Sorry I can not remember more than this. I can repeat the installation with specific packages if you would like.
Additional comments about the installation: I downloaded the DVD iso image of 5.92, as well as the rescue disk iso image from one of the mirrors. I performed a sha1sum check which passesd. I burned a CD with the rescue image which also passed the integrity checks. I then mounted the DVD iso image to /mnt/fc6 on one of our servers. I then booted a spare PC with the rescue CD with the switch "linux askmethod" I performed an ftp install to the iso image on our local network on /mnt/fc6
This should be working in rawhide. If it's still a problem, feel free to reopen.
