Install of latest packages....kernel-2.6.6-1.421 fails, selinux-policy-strict-1.13.3-2 succeeds

[Tom London]

I did a 'yum update' to pick up the latest stuff from the development 
and Arjan's tree. I worked around the rpm conflicts from early stuff in 
the development tree.

The kernel update (421) still fails under strict/enforcing mode. The 
context labels now appear to be in the rpm file, but I'm getting similar 
messages:
    ...... lots and lots of WARNING messages like:
    WARNING: Couldn't stat

    mkinitrd failed

My previous workaround (do 'setenforce 0; yum ....' followed by a 
relabel) did not work this time. The mkinitrd now fails even under 
permissive mode:
    [root at dell selinux]# setenforce 0
    [root at dell selinux]# yum install kernel

    I will do the following:

    mkinitrd failed

Since the latest kernel's seemed to have auditing off, I can't locate 
anything interesting in /var/log/messages.  (Looks like CONFIG_AUDIT is 
set to y in 421.)

Since the label now appear correct in the rpm file, could this be 
something in the policy/context files?  Any ideas?

The install of the 1.13.3-2 policy packages seemed to work OK. It left 
my /etc/selinux/config file untouched. (I guess I should have removed it 
prior to install.....sorry).
