Thanks, Reindl. I only have one hard disk in my computer, which runs only Fedora 18.
As a consequence of this problem, I cannot boot my computer. This problem occurred after the last updates, which included selinux-policy.
i doubt that HARDWARE errors have anything to do with selinux-policy
Thanks again, Reindl. By using smartctl, I get a message similar to the one below:
Error 18 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 12126 hours (505 days + 6 hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.
Boot your machine with enforcing=0 on the kernel line. If you still have the problem, then it is probably not SELinux. If it works, then I would try to relabel.
Thanks, Daniel. I have meanwhile overcome the problem by re-installing Fedora. Now, everything seems to be working perfectly.
By the way,
enforcing=0
was to be placed in the line that starts with the word
'linux',
right?
How can one do the relabeling?
Paul
touch /.autorelabel; reboot
Will cause a relabel at boot, although not necessary now.
