modprobe.d error/denied avc:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522918

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523039

It is either one or both of them?

BTW, have you tried booting into level 3 and then startx from there.  I encountered something similar and overcame it using this trick.  I did not report back since I was watching football :(, and apologize in advance.

Regards,

Antonio

Well ... neither explains WHEN selinux complains. I mean  its unclear in what
context .
But the latter (your's) seems to be it.

In the meanwhile I had started the system several times with init 3 ,
and sure startx works fine .

 But I suppose it needs some work ,to have a "normal" graphical start.

After experimenting some reinstalls (dracut,selinux,kernel&headers&firmware ,etc)
I thought to simplify the initramfs making my own for this hardware                              ( #dracut -H ),doing so eliminating some possible sources of troubles.

It fired back ,now I have problems with dracut making a initramfs !

At this moment I'm in the process of finding out !?

Ill notice when I see the light : )

NB : Controll Alt F# didn't give me a console .Only reboot and init 3 got me to it.  

Regards, and thanks for the reply : )
