Package: sysvinit Version: 2.86.ds1-3 Severity: normal
this bug is related to minor bugs : #328474 #329328 but might be more serious. A few days ago, during boot, just before init startup, I too noticed the same message which claimed directory /selinux/ was not found. thinking selinux was badly installed I created that directory... and forgot about it. Tonight, because of a change in my system, I rebooted, to have Init scream this message to me : INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation! sleeping for 30 seconds. INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation! sleeping for 30 seconds. etc ... Obviously it took me while to link the 2 events together: I thought my disk was corrupt, except the lockup was always happenning at the same place, and also I noticed that the message which claimed /selinux/ was missing, had changed to: Can't open '/etc/security/selinux/policy.19': no such file or directory. Once I removed the offending directory, and rebooted, I noticed the normal : INIT : Entering run level 2 where juste before init panicked. So, the 'solution' was easy, but the reason this might be a more serious bug is because normal users would not be able to restart from a system without a functioning init. Final note : this crash might happen because I have a custom kernel. I did include selinux in the build, though.
