Hi Erich,
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I have some good news below.

Sure, RedHat Linux has been using labels for years. But I'm just trying to
build the systemconfigurator RPM for use on the real target systems.
Why should the RPM build process even bother about the partitions on the
build host at all ?
By the way, I just repeated the RPM build on a CentOS 4.5 (RedHat 4 Update 5)
machine, and exactly the same error appears as on CentOS 5 / RedHat 5.

RedHat 5 (and CentOS 5) does have SELinux enabled by default. I use the
"permissive" SELinux settings.

I added the suggested line and that solves the problem !! The t/boot_grub
test now succeeds, and the RPM packages get built correctly:

Would it be possible to update the systemconfigurator package om SourceForge
so that the fix for RedHat Linux gets included ?
Thanks a lot,
Ole
