Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Summary SELinux is preventing /sbin/modprobe (insmod_t) "sys_nice" to <Unknown> (insmod_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by /sbin/modprobe. It is not expected that this access is required by /sbin/modprobe 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 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.

This does not make sense it should have been allowed since 2.6.4-40 So something is wrong with your policy load. Did something blow up on update? You can try to reinstall the selinux-policy package.
