Kernel Panic on upgrading libselinux

[Jaspreet Singh]

Hi,

I wanted to write my own security policies so i upgraded to packages
given shipped with FC3 ( libselinux , policy-targeted, policycoreutils ,
SysVinit and checkpolicy)

When i tried to reboot (to 2.6.5-1.358 default with FC2) with
SELINUX=enforcing and SELINUXTYPE=targeted .. it says -

kernel panic ...
No policy loaded ?????????

i tried booting to kernel 2.6.8-1.386 .. it booted fine ...

Then i also tried to run "fixfiles relabel" and rebooted same problem.

also booting with SELINUX=permissive gives the following errors on "ls
-Z"

Option only possible with selinux enabled kernels ???????

Any clues ???

Jaspreet :-(

Why do you want to boot the old kernel?  In any event, the FC3 policy
packages only build the latest policy version (since all FC3 kernels
understand that version), whereas the original FC2 kernel used an older
policy version.  But the latest FC2 update kernels should also accept
the new policy version.
