Description Joachim Frieben 2011-04-14 12:30:26 UTC
SELinux is preventing plymouthd from using the 'signal' accesses on a process.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that plymouthd should be allowed signal access on processes labeled init_t by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep plymouthd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
