SELinux is preventing gdm-binary (xdm_t) "getattr" to /boot
(boot_t).Detailed DescriptionSELinux denied access requested by
gdm-binary. It is not expected that this access is required by
gdm-binary and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application
is causing it to require additional access.Allowing AccessSometimes
labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore
the default system file context for /boot, restorecon -v /boot If this
does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this
access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this
access - see FAQ Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether.
Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug
report against this package.Additional InformationSource Context:
