Latest kernel issues.

[David Hunter]

I´ve updated to the latest kernel version in rawhide (
kernel-2.6.20-1.3071.fc7) on a Celeron 500Mhz machine, also have the kernel
version (kernel-2.6.20-1.3066.fc7) installed. The newer kernel fails to boot
as there is a message to the effect of no int found or something similar,
the oldereer kernel boots the system ok, although alot of the services fail
to start. Any workarounds or fixes?

I have this problem with an IBM Thinkpad T42.  See my recent
posts on fedora-list (search for dedourek(a)unb.ca).  It appears
that the kernel cannot access the disks on some machines.  Best
current guess is that it may be related to moving the necessary
drivers from being built-in to the kernel to being loaded
as modules.  But this is NOT YET CONFIRMED.

My newbie nephew was having the 'no init' problem when upgrading from
a stock fc6. Prior to the 3071 kernel upgrade yesterday I had him turn
selinux off. His subsequent 3071 boot was successful.

His system-config-wireless-gui failed because it was unable to import
the gnome library, which is also  a bit suspicious.

If you haven't already done so, you might want to try turning selinux
off, at least during the yum kernel upgrade.

Any avc messages (in /var/log/messages or /var/log/audit/audit.log)? If
you have it installed you can also run audit2allow < /var/log/messages
for better output.

In the future you might consider permissive temporarily (setenforce 0)
rather than disabling. That should allow you to turn selinux back into
enforcing mode when the policy packages are updated.

Looks like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236282 
which was an anaconda bug. Should be fixed now for new installs. For old 
installs, run:

fixfiles restore /boot

as root.
