/sbin/telinit 6 gives: telinit: Unable to send message: Connection refused Doesn't seem to be a selinux related issue.
Is this after installing upstart but before rebooting? What do you get if you strace it?
Fresh rawhide install from today. Reboot before or after, doesn't matter... does the same... I'll attach a strace output.

I'm assuming upstart's init still seems to be running OK?
Yeah, seems to be: [root@rawhide-20080305x8664 ~]# ps auxww | grep init root 1 0.0 0.0 10440 740 ? Ss Mar05 0:01 init [5]
Do things like 'initctl events' and similar work?
Nope. [root@rawhide-20080305x8664 ~]# initctl events initctl: Unable to send message: Connection refused Happy to provide ssh access to the vm if you want to poke around.
I see this in selinux mls policy.

On further poking, my issue seemed to be that sysvinit was installed as well as upstart, so /sbin/init was sysvinit and telinet was from upstart. ;) I couldn't duplicate it after newer rawhides removed everything from sysvinit. I also did try with 'setenforce 0' and didn't see any selinux issues. i think this can be CLOSED->rawhide for now.
