I downloaded refpolicy-20070629.tar.bz2 and selinux-refpolicy-sources-20070629-1.noarch.rpm and installed the files for the reference policy. When rebooting the system there was a fatal error - Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception. There were many unknown Boolean errors for libsepol.load.booleans and there was the following error - libsepol.sepol_genbools: error while reading /etc/selinux/refpolicy/Booleans It looks like ifconfig was running when the kernel panic occurred. To recover booted into single-user mode and changed the SELINUXTYPE in the file /etc/selinux/config from refpolicy to targeted. I can easily repeat the problem by using the SELinux Management Tool to change the System Default Policy Type from targeted to refpolicy and rebooting. I've looked at all of the documentation to see if I missed a step or downloaded an incorrect file but I can't find anything. Can anyone give me some insight into what the problem may be? Thanks in advance for a response. Kim -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
