what is Enforcing mode requested but no policy loaded, halting now ; when boot up

#1 (**permalink**) 01-19-2008, 07:12 AM

Hi,

I have installed my new fresh kernel 2.6.21 on Fedora core 3.
When I tried to boot , I got following error message...

Redhat Nash version 4.1.18 starting.
Enforcing mode requested but no policy loaded, halting now
Kernel Panic - not syncing : Attempted to kill!

I think I shoud do something in kernel configraion to boot... it might
be missing something..

what else should I check?

Thanks.

Try googling under "Enforcing mode" with the quotes. It means that you have
SE Linux, a more secure setup, but you haven't got a policy file telling it
what to enforce. A tutorial at
http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/talk...04/linux20.doc. deals with
Fedora. I am running Mandriva, so I am not much help.
