Yes kernel command line wins.
Second is /etc/selinux/config (SELINUX) line
Execute the kernel command line to initialize the
selinux and enforcing environment variables. cmdline options are (selinux=0 to
disable SELinux) (enforcing=0 to put selinux in permissive mode)
then dracut should execute
. /etc/selinux/config
if [ "$selinux" != 0 && "$enforcing" != 0 && "$SELINUX" == "enforcing" ]; then
load_policy
if $? != 0; ReportError() && blow up
elif [ ""$selinux" != 0 && ("$enforcing" == 0 || $SELINUX" == "permissive") ];
then
load_policy
if $? != 0; ReportError()
# Continue no matter what
elif [ "$selinux == 0" || "$enforcing" == 0 || "$SELINUX" == "disabled" ];
then
# Continue no matter what, although it would nice to tell the kernel to
drop SELinux support
elif
Report_error()
Blow Up
