The same behaviour for me, bugs #689097 and #689098 seems to be related. Setting permissive mode is enough to make system working again.

Comment 2 Vaclav "sHINOBI" Misek 2011-03-19 20:22:11 UTC
The problem is created by rsyslog-5.7.9-1.fc15 in my case. Horst can you try to run yum downgrade rsyslog and then try to reboot if it fixes the problem for you?

Yes, that fixes it.

Comment 4 Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-19 23:21:43 UTC
In view of comment 2, moving over to rsyslog

Comment 5 Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-19 23:42:47 UTC
I checked various /var/log files with SELinux enabled, and sure enough /var/log/messages contains nothing whatsoever for this boot. systemctl says:

rsyslog.service           loaded active   running       System Logging Service
rsyslogd.service          error  inactive dead          rsyslogd.service

(Sorry, didn't drill deeper into this before seeing comment 2).
