[ale] Kernel crash

[Andrew Wade]

Since it's an selinux error, I'd first ask if you have selinux running on
purpose or it should be on.

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.

Reboot and see if it works.


Also, where are you seeing this message?   What level of the boot process?

grub -> sysinit -> inittab -> rc.init > rc3.d -> etc


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)

Also, a screenshot of the last messages before and after that error on the
console would shed some light.
