Subject: Dracut or Selinux problem with update to kernel-2.6.31-2.fc12.x86_64 ?
To: fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com

Reboot after update halts on gdm with black
screen .
gdm is active but not visible ,because one hit of tab and
enter reboots .
While this was the first kernel update with dracut
initramfs on my system ,I suspect a rules conflict with
selinux .
See also the avc denials in dmesg ,

I've spend allot of time searching bugzilla ,fedora
forum ,dracut pages all around ,and found no related
problems.
Do I have to report this one ? And to what party ?
Sincerely ,

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.
