FC4 is fucked

(1/2) > >>

H_TeXMeX_H:
FC4 refuses to boot properly ... I'm getting lots of permission denied errors for rather important files. So I'm stuck using command line and lynx (many thanks to the makers of this awesome browser) ... anyway looks like I gotta install FC5, but I still want to know what the fuck happened, so here is the demsg

I hope it the attachment works ... I'm using lynx after all ... it's different.

KernelPanic:
It sounds like SELinux is tripping you up. Try adding selinux=0 boot parameter. (Press 'a' at the grub menu to append the option)

Assuming this works you would then be advised to:
A) reinstall the selinux-policy RPM
-or-
B) Disable the bag of **** completely.

mobrien_12:
ACtually, I'm suprised networking is functional.  The messages seem to indicate that SELinux is having problems with ifconfig ...which controls your network device setup.

H_TeXMeX_H:
I fucking hate SELinux ... it causes so many fucking problems !!! There are tons of problems on FC5 caused by it ... and FC4 too. Looks like SELinux was the cause.

What I want to know is what happened between last night and this morning that caused SELinux to fuck up. It was working fine last night, and then in the morning ... it won't boot properly ... what the fuck happened in-between ? We may never know.

Thanks for the responses ... I still switched to FC5, maybe it won't fuck up. Do all distros come with SELinux ? Is it useful at all ?

piratePenguin:
I just heard about AppArmor today, which looks like a better SELinux-like thing for newbie distros.

Maybe you were cracked...? Modifying SELinux policies would probably be the dream of any (stupid) cracker... But then, it would depend on what services you have open to the internet, and their versions.
