That's a different bug.
That bug is a problem with the installer trying to install the mkinitrd
package - it would sometimes get stuck in an infinite loop on 64-bit
machines.
My problem is that the SELinux policy is denying mkinitrd some
permissions it needs to be able to create a working initrd.
Or, rather, it *was* - it seems to work with selinux-policy-2.5.8-5.fc7.
The changelog mentions prelink, not ldconfig, so I'm not sure what
actually changed and whether the problem is really fixed or if I'm just
not seeing it now.
How could I get a diff between the two policies?
If you want a comparison of the actual kernel binary policies, you can
use sediff from setools to display a semantic diff of them.
