Description Niels Haase 2009-08-28 19:30:42 UTC
Description of problem:
After Rawhide install from 20090827, the system comes up and firstboot appears. No keyboard typing or mouse movement are possible. No switch to vty is possible. ACPI events and ssh are still working, so I assume that the system is still running. Booting into runlevel 3 starts the cli firstboot fine. After that, switch to runlevel 5 is no problem, X is working like a charm. But also in runlevel 5, if you start firstboot, it freeze the same way.

It looks like a SELinux problem here:

kernel: type=1107 audit(1251487005.880:143): user pid=1150 uid=81 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='avc: denied { send_msg } for msgtype=method_call interface=org.freedesktop.DBus member=Hello dest=org.freedesktop.DBus spid=1999 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:firstboot_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=dbus

boot with selinux=0 can be used for a workarround.

selinux-policy-3.6.28-8.fc12.noarch
libselinux-2.0.85-2.fc12.x86_64
