Hi all, I have installed CentOS 5.4 on the VirtualBox for "play" with SELinux. After installation, I enabled SELinux with policy in "target mode". The system is booting without error. I decided the enable SELINUXTYPE=strict mode, but at first reboot I receive the following message:
" Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting Unable to load SELinux Policy. Machine is in enforcing mode. Halting now. Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! "
The only solution is to disable SELinux at the boot. [ kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet selinux=0 ]
What is the problem? Where I wrong? Thx

The first time you boot permissive in RHEL5/Centos5 Strict policy, you have to boot in permissive mode and perform a relabel. Since all the labeling is not correct, specifically shared libraries, init is not allowed access and panics.
enforcing=0 autorelabel
on the kernel command line will make this happen.
