I updated the kernel after installing the latest mkinitrd package and some errors were reported when pup finished. I also got the attsched SELinux error. The other SELinux error with xdm_var_lib_t was already mentioned in an earlier post. Jim kernel - 2.6.24-0.133.rc6.git8.fc9.i686 WARNING: Couldn't open directory /tmp/initrd.dY3159/lib/modules/2.6.24-0.133.rc6.git8.fc9: Permission denied FATAL: Could not open /tmp/initrd.dY3159/lib/modules/2.6.24-0.133.rc6.git8.fc9/modules.dep.temp for writing: Permission denied -- If life is a stage, I want some better lighting. Summary SELinux is preventing the depmod(/sbin/depmod) from using potentially mislabeled files (). Detailed Description SELinux has denied depmod(/sbin/depmod) access to potentially mislabeled file(s) (<Unknown>). This means that SELinux will not allow depmod(/sbin/depmod) to use these files. It is common for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp directories and then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is that the files end up with the wrong file context which confined applications are not allowed to access. Allowing Access If you want depmod(/sbin/depmod) to access this files, you need to relabel them using restorecon -v <Unknown>. You might want to relabel the entire directory using restorecon -R -v <Unknown>.Additional Information Source Context system_u:system_r:depmod_t Target Context system_u:object_r:tmp_t Target Objects None [ dir ] Source depmod(/sbin/depmod) Port <Unknown> Host HP-JCF7 Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.2.5-7.fc9 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name home_tmp_bad_labels Host Name HP-JCF7 Platform Linux HP-JCF7 2.6.23.8-63.fc8 #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 18:51:08 EST 2007 i686 athlon Alert Count 2 First Seen Thu 03 Jan 2008 05:47:20 PM EST Last Seen Thu 03 Jan 2008 05:47:20 PM EST Local ID bf1d6609-37f4-42b1-bd2c-75c64deca263 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages host=HP-JCF7 type=AVC msg=audit(1199400440.555:34): avc: denied { search } for pid=5198 comm="depmod" name="tmp" dev=sda6 ino=260097 scontext=system_u:system_r:depmod_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 tclass=dir host=HP-JCF7 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1199400440.555:34): arch=40000003 syscall=5 success=no exit=-13 a0=bf866ab0 a1=241 a2=1b6 a3=9c68480 items=0 ppid=2957 pid=5198 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) comm="depmod" exe="/sbin/depmod" subj=system_u:system_r:depmod_t:s0 key=(null)
