Summary SELinux is preventing pm-hibernate (hald_t) "getattr" to /var/log/pm- suspend.log (var_log_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by pm-hibernate. It is not expected that this access is required by pm-hibernate and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for /var/log/pm-suspend.log, restorecon -v /var/log/pm-suspend.log If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.

You can fix the file context on this file, but the location of this file is changed in the latest rawhide, So you should update all your packages, especially pm-utils, hal and selinux-policy.
It should be fixed in a uptodate system, e.g. on my F7 machine I get: $ ls -laZ /var/log/pm-suspend.log -rw------- root root system_u:object_r:hald_log_t /var/log/pm-suspend.log In case this bug is still present, please reopen it.
