I don't see everyone who downloaded that update clamoring about hour-long bootups, do you? Do you think it might actually be working for everybody else? Like I said, what's different about your machine?

One thing that we know is different about Karl's machine:

it was hacked a few weeks ago due to insecure ssh password. As far as
we know, Karl has not wiped and reinstalled his machine. These SElinux
warnings might well be telling him something very serious indeed.
