Since it's an selinux error, I'd first ask if you have selinux running on purpose or it should be on.<div><br></div><div>If it shouldn't be on, I'd disable it (you can reenable it later if you do need it on) at /etc/selinux/config I believe. Change it to disabled.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Reboot and see if it works.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Also, where are you seeing this message? What level of the boot process?</div><div><br></div><div>grub -> sysinit -> inittab -> rc.init > rc3.d -> etc</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>So if selinux is seeing the wrong context on some file/binary that is trying to talk to the hardware level I would expect to see something like this (IRQ is BIOS level system addressing)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, a screenshot of the last messages before and after that error on the console would shed some light.</div><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 5:16 PM, David Hillman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hillmands@gmail.com">hillmands@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I can't check whether a kernel/security update was done because I can't get the thing to boot. Could it be a hardware problem?
