Hello,
I tried to update a fedora 16 to 17. Unfortunately, the update failed
very soon after the starting.
Then, no way to try again to update, the distribution was not
recognized.
Anyway, I was able to boot the distribution, but at the login, after I
give a login name I get:
tty1: can't exec /bin/login permission denied
What are your recommendations?
Thank.

Patrick,
I you want help you're going to have give us more information other than
'It does not help!!'.
Did you get the selinux config file changed? Could you login after a
re-boot?

Same thing.
Not sure exactly what is broken here...but running "ls -l
/usr/bin |
grep login" and see what it says. Possibly some permissions were not
set properly because of the failed update.

Can you still log into the normal tty:s? Try ctrl-alt-f6 for example.
Not sure exactly what is broken here...but running "ls -l /usr/bin | grep
login" and see what it says. Possibly some permissions were not set
properly because of the failed update.

It seems you might have broken it quite badly... :(
Someone might have a fix, but if I was in you place, I would use the system
rescue feature to simply rescue all data on the HDD, and then simply do a
clean install.

If it's a selinux problem, boot the distribution, mount the
partition, and edit /etc/selinux/config. Change to
SELINUX=permissive
then reboot. Hopefully that will get you logged in so you can find
the problem. I suggest a re-label.

The other problem is that when I try to update the distribution,
it is not recognize as a fedora distribution! I can boot it but not
login!

Thank,
But how can I re-label the partitions which are not mounted or
force these partitions to be re-labelled at a boot while they
are not part of the mounted distribution.
My understanding is that if I ask relabel on next reboot only the
booted partitions are relabelled?
Regards.

I cannot login, so, I cannot make a ls command.
