Description Dave Jones 2010-10-27 21:53:08 UTC 
during bootup, I see this..

[   48.934384] type=1400 audit(1288215572.501:4): avc:  denied  { mmap_zero } for  pid=627 comm="vbetool" scontext=system_u:system_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=memprotect


Given that vbetool grovels around in BIOS, I'm expecting that this is normal, and should be allowed.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-10-28 12:32:42 UTC 
Teach me to try to use an alias...  Sorry here is the correct dup.
